Oh yeah yeah yeah No Now, if there's a smile upon 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, oh yeah baby
Now if I appear to be carefree It's only to camoflage 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 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 the tears of a clown When there's no-one around, oh yeah baby
Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my sadness hid Smiling in the public eye But in my lonely room I cry The tears of a clown When there's no-one around Oh yeah baby
Now if there's a smile upon my face Don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Don't let this smile I wear Make you think that I don't care I'm feeling so sad Hurting so bad.....
