The Actress Lyrics - Roy Orbison

Well you should be an actress 

You play your part so well 

Your act is so believable 

That no one else can tell 

You say the lines, but I see 

That you don't really love me 

You keep me around to be your faithful clown 

Till someone you can love comes along 

You'll keep on pretending 

Because the show must go on

Yes, you should be an actress 

As lovely as you are 

The way you play on emotion 

You'd shame the brightest star 

You're acting all the time 

No, you're not really mine 

I'm just another scene in your play acting scheme 

No, you don't love me at all 

But when you walk away 

That's when the curtain will fall 

Photos 

But I'll go all the way to the end of the play 

I'll be a part of your masquerade 

Although I know it may be the saddest show 

In the life of a fool on parade
