Oh yeah yeah yeah
Now if there's a smile upon my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that quite a different subject
Don't let my sad 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 oh yeah baby
Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
In order 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
I need you so I'm hurt and I want you to know
But for others
I put on a show
Ohh
Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder sadder than the tears of a clown
When there's noone around
Just like
Pagliacci did
I try to keep my sadness hide
Smiling in the public eyes
But in my lonely room
I cry a tears of a clown
When there is 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 expression
Don't let the smile I swear
Make you think that I don't care
