1
Now if there's a smile on 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 different subject
5
But don't let my glad expression
6
Give you the wrong impression
7
'Cause really I'm sad, oh I'm sadder than sad
8
Well, I'm hurt and I want you so bad
9
Like a clown I appear to be glad, ooh yeah
10
Well, they're some sad things known to man
11
But ain't too much sadder than
12
The tears of a clown when there's no one around
13
Oh yeah baby, baby, oh yeah baby, baby
14
Now if I appear to be carefree
15
It's only to camouflage my sadness
16
And honey to shield my pride I try
17
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
18
But don't let my show convince you
19
That I've been happy since you
20
'Cause I need to go, oh I need you so
21
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
22
For others I put on a show
23
Well, they're some sad things known to man
24
But ain't too much sadder than
25
The tears of a clown when there's no one around
26
Oh yeah baby, baby, oh yeah baby, baby
27
Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my surface hid
28
Smiling in the crowd I try, but in a lonely room I cry
29
The tears of a clown when there's no one around
30
Oh yeah, baby, baby
31
Now if there's a smile on my face
32
Don't let my glad expression
33
Give you the wrong impression
34
Don't let this smile I wear
35
Make you think that I don't care
