The Tears Of A Clown (Mono Version)

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only they're trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling 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, oh sadder than sad
You're 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 ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown
When there's no one around
Oh yeah baby, now if
I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
In order to shield my pride
I tryTo 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 hurt and
I want you to know
But for others
I put on a show
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, oh yeah
Just like
Pagliacci did
I try to keep my sadness hid
Smiling in the public eye
But in my lonely room
I cry the tears of a clown
When there's no one around
Oh, yeah baby
Now if there's a smile upon my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let the smile
I wearMake you think that
I don't care
Really I'm sad
I'm hurting so bad
