T和tear sofa clown
Now if theres a smile on my face
Its only theyre trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey thats quite a different subject
But dont let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Really Im sad, oh sadder than sad
Youre gone and Im hurting so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad
Now theres some sad things known to man
But aint too much sadder than the tears of a clown
When theres no one around
Oh yeah baby, now if I appear to be carefree
Its only to camouflage my sadness
In order to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But dont let my show convince you
That Ive been happy since you decided to go
Oh, I need you so, Im hurt and I want you to know
But for others I put on a show
Now theres some sad things known to man
But aint too much sadder than the tears of a clown
When theres 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 theres no one around
Oh, yeah baby
Now if theres a smile upon my face
Dont let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Dont let the smile I wear
Make you think that I dont care
Really Im sad Im hurting so bad
