| Tears
of a Clown| 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 expression give you the wrong impression
Really I'm sad I'm sadder than sad You're gone and I'm hurtin' 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
Now if I appear to be carefree, it's only to camouflage my sadness In order
to keep my pride I try to cover the 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 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 Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try But in a lonely room I cry The tears of a clown
When there's noone around, oh yeah, baby 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 Cos really I'm sad
