the tears of a clown
——————–
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.
(chorus)
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 shield 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.
(chorus)
just like pagliacci did,
i try to keep my sadness hid.
smilin’ in the public eye
while in my lonely room i cry
the tears of a clown
when there’s no one around.
