Tears of a Clown [125 BPM

Now if there's a smile on my face

It's only there tryin' to fool the public

But when it comes down to foolin' you

Now honey that's quite a different subject

So don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Cos really I'm sad (so sad sad)

Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad

Like a clown I appear to be glad

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

And honey to shield my pride I try

To cover this hurt with a show of gladness

So don't let my show convince you

That I've been happy since you decided to go

Oh I need you so

Look I'm hurt and I want you to know

Just for others I put on a show

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

Just like Pagliacci did

I'm gonna keep my surface hid

Hiding in my room I try

But in this lonely room I cry

The tears of a clown

When there's no one around
