 Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you?

 Everybody laughs at the things I say and do

 They all laugh when they see me comin'

 But you don't laugh, you just go home runnin'

 Everybody loves a clown, so why can't you?

 A clown has feelings, too

 

 I joke around at a party when you are there

 But you don't laugh, you don't look, you just don't care

 If you wonder why this clown is cryin'

 Look a little closer, inside I'm dyin'

 It's not easy to be in love, you see

 When you're a clown like me'

 

 I don't know how to say that I love you

 'cause you would smile and say "Tell a joke or two"

 Yes, I'm a clown but I don't wanna be

 Why can'tcha see the other side of me?

 Guess I'll be the guy who plays the part

 Of a clown with a broken heart

 

 Dreamin' of your love and not knowing where to start

 Dreamin' of your love and not knowin' where to start

 FADE

 Dreamin' of your love and not knowin' where to start
