Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 'Cause really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah CHORUS: Well 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 Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby 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 need to go, oh I need you so Look I'm hurt and I want you to know For others I put on a show CHORUS Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my surface hid Smiling in the crowd I try But in a lonely room I cry The tears of a clown When there's no one around, oh yeah, baby 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
