Tears Of A Clown Lyrics - The Wallflowers

Tears of a Clown Lyrics 

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles 

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 

Really I'm sad 

I'm sadder than sad 

You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad 

Like a clown I pretend to be glad

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Now if I appear to be carefree 

it's only to camouflage my sadness 

In order to keep my pride I try 

to cover the hurt with a show of gladness 

But 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 

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 

Photos 

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
