Tears of a Clown

Now if there's a smile on my face

It's only there trying to fool the public

So don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

'Cause really, I'm sad

Oh, I'm sadder than sad

Oh I'm sorry sir

I'll hide them if I can

Ooh yeah, well there's some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than

The tears of a clown

If I appear to be carefree

It's only to camouflage my sadness

Like a clown, I appear to be glad

So don't let my show convince you

That I've been happy since you showed

Oh, I need you so

Look, I'm hurt and I want you to know

Just for others I put on a show

Ooh yeah, well there's some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than

The tears of a clown
