Текст песни
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
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
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
Baby, baby
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, yeah
Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
In order to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
Don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you decided to go
Oh, 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
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Tears of a Clown
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
When there's no one around
Yeah, yeah
the tears of a clown
Oh baby
the tears of a clown
When there's no one around
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let the smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
Really I'm sad I'm hurting so bad
Tears of a clown...
