Tears Of A Clown

Tears Of A Clown
Oh, yeah, yeah
Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you, girl
Now, honey, that's quite a different subject

Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Really I'm sad, ooh sadder than sad
You've gone and I'm hurting so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad
Well, there's some sad things known to man
There 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 try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
Don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Decided to go, ooh I need you so
Well, I'm hurt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show
Now there's some sad things known to man
There ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown, ah yeah
And just like Karachi did
I try to keep my sadness in
Smiling in the family car
While in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's no-one around, yeah
Oh, yeah, baby

Now if there's a smile on my face
Ooh, don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
The tears of a clown
