              F#m          A             G#    G
There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain and the ones that observe
Well, baby, I'm a put-on-a-show kinda girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first (Oh, oh)

             F#m       A
I'm like the ringleader
            G#               G
I call the shots (call the shots)
             F#m      A
I'm like a firecracker
           G#           G
I make it hot (make it hot)
                  F#m
when i put on a show...

A             E                          F#m
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
          A              G#m       A
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
               E                             F#m
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage
           A                G#m          F#m
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same


Chorus:
F#m             A                          G#
   All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
                G                       F#m
   Just like a Circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
                  A                          G#
   When i crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
                G                     F#m
   Just like a Circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
                 A                     G#
   Don't stand there watching me, follow me
             G           F#m
   Show me what you can do
              A                            G#
   Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
               G
   Just like a Circus
   (ah, ah, ahaha-hah, ha, ha, ha,
    ha, ho, ho, ho)

There's only two types of guys out there
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you, came prepared
I run a tight ship, so beware

I'm a like the ringleader,
I call the shots (Call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker,
I make it hot (make it hot)
When I put on a show...

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage
Better be ready, I bet you feel the same

Chorus

[Break - No music, just beats]
(Uh. Uh. Uh-huh) Let me see what you can do
(Uh. Uh. Uh-huh) I'm runnin' this
(Like-like-like a Circus) Yeah
Like a what? (Like-like-like a Circus)

Chorus
