Leo Sayer - Tears of a Clown lyrics
[Leo Sayer - Tears of a Clown lyrics]
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
