The Tears of a Clown

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, 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, oh sadder than sad You're gone and I'm hurting so bad Like a clown I pretend to be glad Baby, baby 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 Oh, yeah, yeah Now if I appear to be carefree It's only to camouflage my sadness In order to shield my pride I try To cover this hurt with a show of gladness Don't let my show convince you That I've been happy since you decided to go Oh, I need you so I'm hurt and I want you to know But for others I put on a show 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 Oh yeah Oh yeah Tears of a Clown 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 Yeah, yeah The tears of a clown Oh baby The tears of a clown When there's no one around Don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Don't let the smile I wear Make you think that I don't care Really I'm sad I'm hurting so bad Tears of a clown...
