Marc Cohn, Kristina Train - The Tears of a Clown lyrics
[Marc Cohn, Kristina Train - The 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 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
