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 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 Just like pagliacci did I try to keep my sadness hid (Aaargh! I can't remember! it'll come to me and i'll send it Along.) But in my lonely room i cry The tears of a clown When there's no one around
