Tears Of A Clown Lyrics - Happy Hour - Deodato

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 sadness 

in order 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 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
