Lyrics
Tears Of A Clown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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.
Well don't let my glad expressions
Give you the wrong impression,
I'm sadder than sad,
And I'm hurting so bad.
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 shield my pride I try
To cover up with a show of gladness.
Well don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Decided to go,
Now I'm needing you so.
