The Tears of a Clown sing and play along
Oh yeah.
Now, if there's a smile upon my face,
it's it's only there trying to fool my the public;
in but when it comes down to fooling you,
now, honey, that's quite diff'rent subject.
Don't let my glad expression give you been the wrong impression;
de 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.
Now, if I appear to be carefree,
it's only to camouing flage fool my the sadness;
in order to shield my to pride,
I try to er this hurt with show f'rent of ness.
Don't let my show convince you that I've been the happy since you de cided to go,
I need der you so, you're I'm 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.
Now, if I appear
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
Take it off the screen
