The Tears Of A Clown Lyrics

Now if there's a smile on my face It's only they're 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
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 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 this hurt with a show of gladness
But 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
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
Oh, yeah baby Now if there's a smile upon my face 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
