Tears Of A Clown (Fredco Mix) - The Miracles
Now if there's a smile upon 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
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
Oh yeah baby
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
I need you so I'm hurt and I want you to know
But for others I put on a show
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
Smiling in the public eye
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
Oh yeah baby
