The Tears Of A Clown lyrics

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
diff'rent subject.

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.
just like pagliaccic 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 I don't care.
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...
