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 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.
just like pagliaccic 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.
Oh yeah baby
now if there's a smile upon my face
don't let my glad expression
give you the wrong impression
don't let the smile I wear
make you think I don't care.
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.
Oh I need you so.
I'm hurt and I want you to know
but for others
I put on a show.
