1
Now if there's a smile upon my face
2
it's only there trying to fool the public;
3
but when it comes down to fooling you,
4
now honey that's quite a diff'rent subject.
5
Don't let my glad expression
6
give you the wrong impression; really I'm sad,
7
Oh, sadder than sad, you're gone and I'm hurting so bad,
8
like a clown I pretend to be glad.
9
Now there's some sad things known to man
10
but ain't too much sadder than
11
the tears of a clown, when there's no one around.
12
Oh yeah, baby,
13
Now if I appear to be carefree,
14
it's only to camouflage my sadness;
15
in order to shield my pride
16
I try to cover this hurt with a show of gladness.
17
But Don't let my show convince you
18
that I've been happy since you decided to go,
19
I need you so, I'm hurt and I want you to know,
20
but for others I put on a show.
21
Now there's some sad things known to man
22
but ain't too much sadder than
23
the tears of a clown,
24
when there's no one around.
25
Just like Pagliacci did
26
I try to keep my sadness hid,
27
smiling in the public eye
28
but in my lonely room I cry
29
the tears of a clown.
30
Oh, yeah baby!
31
Now, if there's a smile on my face
32
Don't let my glad expression
33
Give you a wrong impression.
34
Don't let this smile I wear
35
Make you think that I don't care
36
Now there's some sad things known to man
37
but ain't too much sadder than
38
the tears of a clown, when there's no one around.
