Gaye, Marvin - (I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over Lyrics
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, my darling and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, my darling and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look the same
You're a lot the same
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
So is love, the masquerade is over
So is love

Gaye, Marvin (I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over Comments
Funny to see the older Marvin Gaye basically as a crooner, after knowing his more recent musical endeavors.
love Marvin, but Nancy Wilson, best of all....better than Etta James, who I adore!
Nancy Wilson copied off of Jimmy Scott, who sung circles around her singing this song and any song. Jimmy Scott did it best. When he was younger his voice was untouchable. Nancy does not have the pipes and depth to out sing him.
I personally enjoy David Porter's more funked out version, the emotion he outputs is contagious
LOVELY!
