Tears of a Clown

Lyrics

[Intro] Said, oh yeah, baby, baby [Verse 1] 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 Well, now, honey, that's quite a different subject So don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression 'Cause really, I'm sad (so sad, sad) Oh, I'm sadder than sad (so sad, sad) Look, I'm hurt and I want you so bad (so sad, sad) Like a clown, I appear to be glad [Chorus] Ooh yeah, well, 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 [Bridge] I said, oh yeah, baby, baby, baby Oh yeah, baby, baby, baby [Verse 2] Now if I appear to be carefree It's only to camouflage my sadness In order to shield my pride, I try To cover it up with a show of gladness So don't let my show convince you That I've been happy since you Decided to go Oh, I need you so Look, I'm hurt, and I want you to know Just for others to put on a show [Chorus] Ooh yeah, well, 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 [Bridge] So, just like Pagliacci did I'm gonna keep my sadness hid Hiding in the gloom, I try But in this lonely room, I cry The tears of a clown When there's no one around [Verse 3] Now, if there's a smile on my face Well, don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Don't let this smile I wear Make you feel that I don't care [Outro] Tears of a clown (Tears of a clown) Tears of a clown (Tears of a clown) Tears of a clown (I'm going down and down) Tears of a clown (I'm going downtown) Tears of a clown
