Say oh yeah baby baby
|
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
|
|
So don't let my glad expression
|
Give you the wrong impression
|
Cos really I'm sad (so sad sad)
|
Oh I'm sadder than sad (so sad sad)
|
Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad (so sad sad)
|
Like a clown I appear to be glad
|
|
Ooh yeah
|
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
|
|
Say oh yeah baby baby baby
|
Oh yeah baby baby baby
|
|
Now if I appear to be carefree
|
It's only to camouflage my sadness
|
And honey to shield my pride I try
|
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
|
So don't let my show convince you
|
That I've been happy since you decided to go
|
Oh I need you so
|
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
|
Just for others I put on a show
|
|
Ooh yeah
|
There's some sad things known to man
|
But ain't too much sadder than
|
The tears of a clown
|
Just like Pagliacci did
|
I'm gonna keep my surface hid
|
Hiding in my room I try
|
But in this lonely room I cry
|
The tears of a clown
|
When there's no one around
|
|
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 wear
|
Make you feel that I don't care
|
The tears of a clown
|
Tears of a clown
|
The tears of a clown
|
I'm going down de town
|
I'm going downtown
|
Tears of a clown
|
