Lyrics

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Now if there's a smile on my face It's only there trying to fool the public But when it comes down to fooling you Now honey, that's quite a different subject But don't let my glad expression give you the wrong impression Really, I'm sad (sad, sad, sad, sad) Oh, I'm sadder than sad You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad Like a clown I pretend to be glad (sad, sad, sad, sad) Now there's some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown When there's no one around, mm Oh yeah, baby Now if I appear to be carefree, it's only to camouflage my sadness In order to shield my pride, I've tried to cover this hurt with a show of gladness But don't let my show convince you That I've been happy since you decided to go (why did you go?) Oh, I need you so (I need you so) I'm hurt and I want you to know (want you to know) But for others I put on a show (it's just a show) Ooh ah, there's some sad things known to man But there ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown When there's no one around, oh yeah Just like Pagliacci did, I try to keep my sadness hid Smiling in the public eye But in my lonely room I cry the tears of a clown When there's no one around Oh yeah, baby Now if there's a smile on my face Don't let my glad expression give you the wrong impression Don't let this smile I wear make you think that I don't care Really, I'm sad Hurtin' so bad (crying all alone)
