Oh yeah yeah yeah
|
|
Now if there's a smile on my face
|
It's only there tryina fool the public
|
But when it comes down to fooling you, now honey that's quiet a different
|
Subject
|
|
But don't let my glad expression give you the wrong impression
|
Really I'm sad oohh I'm sadder than sad
|
You gone and I'm hurting so bad
|
Like a clown I pretend to be glad
|
|
Now there's some sad things known to man
|
But aint too much sadder than
|
The tears of a clown
|
When there's no-one around mmm
|
Oh yeah baby
|
|
Now if I appear to be care free
|
It's only to camoflauge my sadness
|
When I need to shield my pride I try
|
To cover this 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 hurting and I want you to know
|
But for others I put on a show
|
|
There's some sad things known to man
|
But aint too much sadder than
|
The tears of a clown
|
When there's no-one else around
|
Oh yeah baby
|
|
Just like Paliache did, I try to keep my surface in
|
Smilin' in the public eye
|
But in the lonely room I cry the tears of a clown
|
When there's no-one around
|
Oh yeah 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 wear
|
Make you think that I don't care
|
Really I'm sad, I'm hurting so bad
|
