|
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 |
