leo sayer - tears of a clown lyrics
now if there’s a smile upon 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 diff’rent subject
don’t let my glad expression
give you the wrong impression; really i’m sad
oh, sadder than sad, you’re gone and i’m hurting 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 sadnеss
in order to shield my pride
i try to covеr 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
i need you so, i’m hurt and i want you to know
but for others i put on a show
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
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
oh, yeah baby!
now, if there’s a smile on my face
don’t let my glad expression
give you a wrong impression
don’t let this smile i wear
make you think that i don’t care
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
