Lyrics below.

Baby, although I chose this lonely life

It seems it's strangling me now

All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic cars

They're all laughing at me now

Oh I've been used

I've been taken for a fool, oh what a fool

I broke all the rules

But I won't let the show go on

Baby, there's an enormous crowd of people

And they're all after my blood

I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls

Of this theatre and let me out, let me out

Oh I've been so blind

I've wasted time

Wasted, wasted, oh so much time

Walking on the wire, high wire

But I won't let the show go on

[Scat verse]

Oh I've been so blind

I've wasted time

Wasted, wasted, oh so much time

Walking on the wire, high wire

But I won't let the show go on

Baby I wish you'd help me escape

And help me get away

Leave me outside my address

Far away from this masquerade

I've been so used I've been so abused

I've been a fool I broke all the rules

I've been so used oh and abused

But I won't let the show go

I said I won't let the show oh

Won't let the show go on

to me this song seems to be about subjugation of the ego....wont let the show go on ..the "ego show" that so many people don't have a clue theyre living.....genius ....deeper that three dog night's version .....deeper like the ocean is deeper than that puddle in the parking lot.....also liked tdn's version ...but it was more produced and the lyic was changed to "must let the show go on" unplugging the full meaning of the song....and making it about the show...the stage show..not the shows that people make for one another to believe in .....

I'd always loved the 3 Dog Night version. I'd never heard of this Leo Sayer original, nor did I know 3 Dog had borrowed it from him. This one is much better.

I like the Three Dog Night cover, but this is brilliant. The versatility in his voice is amazing. The emotion comes screaming through. The live clown version is also outstanding.

3dog night may have had a fuller sound, but they cannot hold a candle to Leo's vocals in any way shape or form.

This may be the original, but Three Dog Night's version blew this away, at least in the USA charts. It had a rockier, fuller sound, which makes this version sound like a garage demo!

I'm sorry, but I don't see the racism in using the term typically used to describe one that practices Judaism, and 'scrawny' and 'white' are an accurate description, IMO. Certainly there are a host of other anti sematic terms I could have used had I wished to convey prejudice. May I therefore suggest it is you who harbor the racist thoughts, seeing as you willing went there. I am entitled to my opinion and albeit abrasive, it is no worse than the abrasiveness of his rendition of this song IMO.

I think what that guy meant was before you start critising musicians, put uploads of your own up if you can do any better? Like he has. Or at least a profile pic to show yourself- instead of annoymously posting racist comments. May you one day find PEACE in your troubled heart

This 'scrawny ass white jew' made me take up music. You don't even have a pic of yourself on your channel. Let alone 46 videos of yourself performing music like I do. If you can't say nothin nice, then don't say nothin at all
