"The Mask" Lyrics

Who-o
Whoo-o
hoooooo.

Yellow taxes with their lights on
Neons signs write the sky
Crowds rush past like there's a sale on
And I'm the fashion left behind

Nobody knows the man I hold inside
I play the part and wear a mask to hide
And it took me time to pull the monster from the man
I keep forgetting who I really am

Whoo-o
Whoo-o
hoooooo

I know you only see the surface
like all the windows on this street,
the lives behind the curtains,
the loving that we never see

So I fought the thought,
I fought and tried to win.
And of all the battles,
The hardest one
has been within

Nobody knows the man i hold inside
I play the part and wear a mask to hide
And it took me time to pull the monster from the man
I keep forgetting who I really am

You never saw me as I am!

I am a part of the crowd now
And I don't leave myself alone

Nobody knew the man I was inside
I play the part and wore a mask to hide
And it took me time to pull the monster from the man
You let me see me as I really am
Whoo-o
Not forgetting who I am
Ooh-o
No-o.
