Tears of a Clown Songtext
von Caligula

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, oh I′m sadder than sad
You′re gone and I'm hurting so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad (sad, sad, sad, sad)
Now they′re some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there′s no one around, uh
Oh yeah, baby
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
But don′t let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you 'Cause I had to go (why did you go), oh I need you so (I need you so)
Look I′m hurt and I want you to know (want you to know)
For others I put on a show (it′s just a show)
Now they're some sad things known to man
But ain′t too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's no one around, uh
Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
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
′Cause really I′m sad
