The Tears Of A Clown - Nnenna Freelon

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

Don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Really I'm sad 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

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

But don't let my show convince you

That I've been happy

Since you decided to go

I need you so I'm hurt

Hurt and I want you to know

That 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

But little good thing

Just like Pagliacci did

I try to keep my sadness hid

Smiling in the public eye

But in my lonely room

I cry tears of a clown

If there's a smile on my face

Don't let my glad expression

Give you you

You the wrong impression

Don't let this smile I wear

Make you think that I don't care

Tears of a clown

When there's no one

When there's no one

When there's no one

No one no one no one

No one no one no one ohh

If there's a smile on my face

See me feel me touch me

Know me all over

These are the tears of a clown

When I'm all by myself

When I'm all by myself

These are the tears

The tears of a clown
