Lyrics The Tears of a Clown

Oh yeah yeah yeah
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 pretend to be glad
Now they're some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's no one around
Mmm mmm oh yeah baby
Now if I appear to be carefree it's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try to cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
Oh 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
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh
They're some sad things known to man
But there 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 on my face
Don't let my glad expression give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear make you think that I don't care
Really l'm sad hurting so bad
Crying all the time ooh ooh
