Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you?
|
Everybody laughs at the things I say and do
|
They all laugh when they see me comin'
|
But you don't laugh, you just go home runnin'
|
Everybody loves a clown, so why can't you?
|
A clown has feelings, too
|
|
I joke around at a party when you are there
|
But you don't laugh, you don't look, you just don't care
|
If you wonder why this clown is cryin'
|
Look a little closer, inside I'm dyin'
|
It's not easy to be in love, you see
|
When you're a clown like me'
|
|
I don't know how to say that I love you
|
'cause you would smile and say "Tell a joke or two"
|
Yes, I'm a clown but I don't wanna be
|
Why can'tcha see the other side of me?
|
Guess I'll be the guy who plays the part
|
Of a clown with a broken heart
|
|
Dreamin' of your love and not knowing where to start
|
Dreamin' of your love and not knowin' where to start
|
FADE
|
Dreamin' of your love and not knowin' where to start
|
