The Tears of a Clown

Lyrics

[Intro] Ow! Oh, yeah, baby [Verse 1] Now if there's a smile on my face It's only there tryin' to fool the public But when it comes down to foolin' you Now, honey, that's quite a different subject But don't let my glad expressions Give you the wrong impression [Pre-Chorus] I'm sadder than sad And I'm hurtin' so bad [Chorus] Now, baby, 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, ha-ha Mmm, oh, yeah, baby [Verse 2] 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 up with a show of gladness But don't let my show convince you That I've been happy since you [Pre-Chorus 2] Decided to go Now, I need you so (So, so, so, so, so) [Chorus] Now, baby, there's some sad things known to man But not too much sadder than The tears of a clown When there's no one around The tears of a clown When there's no one around Oh, yeah-yeah [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Now, baby, there's some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than, yeah The tears of a clown When there's no one around Yeah, the tears of a clown When there's no one around Around, no-no-no-no Oh, yeah, baby [Outro] Now if there's a smile on my face (tears of clown) Don't let my glad expression (tears of a clown) Give you the wrong impression (tears of a clown) Don't let this smile I wear (tears of a clown) Make you think that I don't care (tears of a clown) Oh, yeah, baby
