Oh yeah yeah yeah 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.
But don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression. Really I'm sad. Ah sadder than sad. You're gone and I'm hurtin' 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 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. Oh, I need you so. I'm hurt and I want you to know. But for others I put on a show.
Ooh, oh 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
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 on 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 Really I'm sad Hurtin' so bad
