The Tears Of A Clown

	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
