The Tears Of A Clown - Various Artists

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

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 I'm sadder than sad

You're 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,

Now if I appear to be carefree

It's only to camouflage my sadness

And honey to shield my pride I try

To 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

That you cover bad

Seconds to there's no one around

I try to keep my surface hid

Smiling in the public eye

But in the lonely room I cry

The tears of a clown
