circus song lyrics

I remember way back when
The circus came to town
It was like nothing I had ever seen
Spun my head around

Maybe it was all those crazy lights
But I stepped right up and paid the price
Fool me once, that's okay
Fool me twice, I like it that way

All those death defying feats
Glued me to the edge of my seat

I can't let go
No, I can't let go

The car pulled up and the clowns poured out
They put out the house of fire
And we held our breath while the man in the vest
Went dancing down the wire

Cotton candy, apple sweet
I can't get enough of what's bad for me, oh
Satisfaction guaranteed
By the greatest show on earth

Little dogs they danced around
Flying ladies, they never touched down

They can't let go
No, they can't let go
I'm saying, I can't let go
No, I can't let go

Back around, I came back around
All I found was an empty lot
And a ticket stub said, 'Thanks a lot'
Thanks a lot

And when the circus blows through here next time
I bet I'll be the first in line

'Cause I can't let go
No, I can't let go
I'm saying, I can't let go
No, I can't let go

Ah, ah, no, I can't let go
I'm saying, I can't let go
No, I can't let go
