smokey robinson - the tears of a clown lyrics
[intro: smokey robinson]
oh yeah, yeah, yeah+yeah+yeah, oh yeah
sing, sheryl
[verse 1: sheryl crow]
now if there’s a smile on my face
it’s only there tryin’ to fool the public
but when it comes down to foolin’ you
now honey, that’s quite a different subject
but don’t let my glad expression
give you the wrong impression
[pre+chorus: smokey robinson & sheryl crow]
really i’m sad (sad, sad, sad, sad)
oh, i’m sadder than sad
you’re gone and i’m hurtin’ so bad
like a clown i pretend to be glad
(sad, sad, sad, sad) baby, baby
[chorus: smokey robinson & sheryl crow]
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
[post+chorus: sheryl crow & smokey robinson]
ooh+hoo
(oh yeah, yeah, yeah) ooh+hoo
[verse 2: smokey robinson]
now if i appear to be carefree
it’s only to camouflage my sadness
in order to shield my pride i try
to cover the hurt with a show of gladness
[pre+chorus: smokey robinson & sheryl crow]
don’t let my show convince you
baby, that i’ve been happy since you decided to go
i need you so
said i’m hurt and i want you to know
but for others i put on a show
well, well, well, well
[chorus: smokey robinson & sheryl crow]
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
[post+chorus: sheryl crow & smokey robinson]
oh yeah, yeah (ooh)
oh yeah (ooh+hoo)
ooh+hoo (ooh+hoo+hoo)
ooh+hoo
tears of a clown
[outro: smokey robinson & sheryl crow]
just like pagliacci did (the great pretender)
i try to keep my sadness hid
smiling in the public eye (the great pretender)
in my lonely room i cry
tears of a clown
when there’s no one around
yeah, yeah, tears of a clown (oh baby)
when there’s no one around (yeah, yeah)
(tears of a clown)
don’t let my glad expression
give you the wrong impression
(tears of a clown)
don’t let this smile i wear
(tears of a clown)
make you think that i don’t care
(tears of a clown)
