Lyrics

Love is a clown
Love is a clown
And I'm a clown to think that she's in love with me
Why does this love pretend to be
Something that will set me free?
Love is a clown that always fools around
Tears and laughter are sure to be found
The world goes 'round and 'round
And all this still to be found
I'm a clown in the game of love
When will she come down from up above
Oh, love
Love is a clown
And I'm a clown to think that she's in love with me
Why does this love pretend to be
Something that, something that will set me free?
The world goes 'round and 'round
And love is still to be found
I'm a clown in the game of love
When will she come down from up above
Oh, love
Oh, love is a clown
And is still to be found
Why am I the clown?
Love is a clown
