marc cohn – the tears of a clown lyrics
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
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 …
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
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
