You break windows when you get mad

You go nowhere with Jack the Lad

You give Verbal to your old man

Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down



You go runnin' when it's your round

You ain't funny, a clown's a clown

An' you won't kick me, no, when I'm down

Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down



Chorus

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …

(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …

(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown

Don't you let me down



Your face don't fit, you're outta place

We're all washed-up in the Rat Race

You're all spaced-out, you're outta space

Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down



Chorus

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …

(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …

(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown

Don't you let me down



I know that I … An' I don't know why



You break windows when you get mad

You give earache when things go bad

Don't give heartache to your old man

Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down



Chorus

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …

(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …

(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown

Don't you let me down



Chorus

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …

(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …

(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown

I said don't you let me down



No, no, no, no … Oh, I don't know why

I'm actin' like a clown

I said don't you let me down … ooh
