Tears of a Clown
Said, oh yeah, baby, baby
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
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
I said, oh yeah, baby, baby, baby
Oh yeah, baby, baby, baby
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 I put on a show
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
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
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
Tears of a clown
Tears of a clown
I'm going down and down
I'm going downtown
Tears of a clown
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
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
I said, oh yeah, baby, baby, baby
Oh yeah, baby, baby, baby
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 I put on a show
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
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
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
Tears of a clown
Tears of a clown
I'm going down and down
I'm going downtown
Tears of a clown
