Tears Of A Clown

Now if there's a smile on my face

It's only there tryin' to fool the public

But when it comes down to foolin' you;

Now honey, that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Really i'm sad

I'm sadder than sad

You're gone and i'm hurtin' 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

Now if i appear to be carefree

It's only to camouflage my sadness

In order to keep my pride i try

To cover the 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

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 pagliacci did

I try to keep my sadness hid

(Aaargh! I can't remember! it'll come to me and i'll send it

Along.)

But in my lonely room i cry

The tears of a clown

When there's no one around
