Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Tears of a clown lyrics

Your rating:

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 
Cos really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad 
Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad 
Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah 

CHORUS: 

Well they're some sad things known to man 
But ain't too much sadder than 
The tears of a clown when there's noone around 
Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby 

Now if I appear to be carefree 
It's only to camouflage my sadness 
And honey 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 
Cos I need to go, oh I need you so 
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know 
For others I put on a show ...CHORUS 

Just like Pagliacci did 
I try to keep my surface hid 
Smiling in the crowd I try 
But in a lonely room I cry 
The tears of a clown 
When there's noone around, oh yeah, baby baby 
Now if there's a smile on my face 
Don't let my glad expression 
Give you the wrong impression 
Don't let this smile I wear 
Make you think that I don't care 
Cos really I'm sad...
