|
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' |
|
Cause really |
|
I'm sad, oh |
|
I'm sadder than sad |
|
Well, I'm hurt and |
|
I want you so bad |
|
Like a clown |
|
I appear to be glad, ooh yeah |
|
Well, 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 |
|
Oh yeah baby, baby, oh yeah baby, baby |
|
Now if I appear to be carefree |
|
It's only to camouflage my sadness |
|
And honey to shield my pride |
|
I tryTo cover this hurt with a show of gladness |
|
But don't let my show convince you |
|
That I've been happy since you' |
|
Cause I need to go, oh |
|
I need you so |
|
Look I'm hurt and |
|
I want you to know |
|
For others |
|
I put on a show |
|
Well, 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 |
|
Oh yeah baby, baby, oh yeah baby, baby |
|
Just like |
|
Pagliacci did |
|
I try to keep my surface hid |
|
Smiling in the crowd |
|
I try, but in a lonely room |
|
I cryThe tears of a clown when there's no one 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 wearMake you think that |
|
I don't care |
