歌词
Oh yeah, alright
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 I'm sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurting so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad
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, alright
Smokey
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
But don't let my show convince you
Baby, that I've been happy since you
Decided to go, oh I need you so
I'm hurt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show, yeah
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
I cry the tears of a clown
When there's nobody around
The tears of a clown
Nobody around
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
No one around
Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my sadness hid
Hiding in the gloom I try
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around
Cry the tears of a clown
When there's no one, no one around
Yeah
