(Verse 1)
Ladies and gents, the show begins,
当当当 好戏开场
she's done her makeup in the dark
主角自己化好妆
Red nose on her face,
红鼻子戴在脸上
she thinks she's a shining star
她觉得自己在发光
Rejected time and time again,
被拒绝那么多次
she calls it"story arc"
她当成剧本在欣赏
She cries and laughs all by herself,
一个人又哭又笑
what a dramatic little spark
这演技真够夸张
(Pre-Chorus)
She's running her one-woman show,
她一个人演独角戏
pretends they had a date
假装和他约了会
Drops little hints and rumors,
说些暧昧的假消息
hoping I'll take the bait
想让我心生疑虑
She writes the script before the mirror,
她对着镜子编剧情
believes her own charade
演得自己都信了
This tired old routine, honey,
这套路也太老了吧
is way past its parade
观众都看困了
(Chorus)
Dance, dance, little clown,
跳啊跳啊小丑
your circus is a show
你的马戏真好看
One-woman play,
一个人又演又导
you write and cry and glow
眼泪说来就来
You think you are the leading star,
你觉得自己是女主角
but you're just the comic break
其实只是搞笑片段
He says you're annoying,
他说你烦
you say"it's a test,"
你说这是考验
you say"it's a test"
你说这是考验
Dance, dance, little clown,
跳啊跳啊小丑
do another twirl for fun
再转个圈给我们看
Your one-sided love
你的一厢情愿
is the best juggling act under the sun
是最好笑的杂耍表演
No audience, no applause,
没有观众 没有掌声
still you refuse to leave the floor
你还在台上不肯散
Clown, oh clown,
小丑啊小丑
you really know how to steal the scene and more
你真会给自己加戏
(Verse 2)
Boom boom boom, the drums roll in,
咚咚咚 锣鼓一敲
she's acting out her pain
她开始表演伤心
I scold you and you play the victim,
骂你你又委屈
tears pouring down like rain
眼泪掉得特别勤
But she knows damn well she's cheap and low
可她知道自己犯贱
Still thinks that breaking up a couple is the way to go
还觉得自己介入别人感情是正确
You're not the victim here tonight
你不是受害者
I'll treat your wicked heart however the hell I like
对待坏心眼我怎么爽怎么搞
(Pre-Chorus)
She's staging her solo act,
她一个人排独角戏
with clumsy acting, stiff and fake
拙劣又蹩脚的演技
Makes up fake run-ins and meet-cutes,
编些假碰面假偶遇
hoping I'll hesitate
想让我心生疑虑
She stares into the mirror,
她对着镜子演深情
moved by her own reflection
把自己感动坏了
Who would buy this garbage script,
this pitiful production
这种烂剧本也好意思拿出来播呢
(Chorus)
Dance, dance, little clown,
跳啊跳啊小丑
your circus is a show
你的马戏真好看
One-woman play,
一个人又演又导
you write and cry and glow
眼泪说来就来
You think you are the leading star,
你觉得自己是女主角
but you're just the comic break
其实只是搞笑片段
He says you're annoying,
他说你烦
you say"it's a test,"
你说这是考验
you say"it's a test"
你说这是考验
Dance, dance, little clown,
跳啊跳啊小丑
do another twirl for fun
再转个圈给我们看
Your one-sided love
你的一厢情愿
is the best juggling act under the sun
是最好笑的杂耍表演
No audience, no applause,
没有观众 没有掌声
still you refuse to leave the floor
你还在台上不肯散
Clown, oh clown,
小丑啊小丑
you really know how to steal the scene and more
你真会给自己加戏
(Bridge)
Your devotion is a solo act,
你的痴情是独角戏
your persistence is insane
你的执着是神经病
You call harassment"deepest love,"
你把骚扰当深情
rejection's just a game
把拒绝当儿戏
I can't be bothered with your drama,
懒得理你
yet you think you still have game
你又觉得自己有能力
The biggest punchline of this mess:
这场闹剧的最大笑点
I curse you out with no restraint
是骂你毫不留情面
(Chorus)
Dance, dance, little clown,
跳啊跳啊小丑
your circus is a show
你的马戏真好看
One-woman play,
一个人又演又导
you write and cry and glow
眼泪说来就来
You think you are the leading star,
你觉得自己是女主角
but you're just the comic break
其实只是搞笑片段
He says you're annoying,
他说你烦
you say"it's a test,"
你说这是考验
you say"it's a test"
你说这是考验
Dance, dance, little clown,
跳啊跳啊小丑
do another twirl for fun
再转个圈给我们看
Your one-sided love
你的一厢情愿
is the best juggling act under the sun
是最好笑的杂耍表演
No audience, no applause,

still you refuse to leave the floor
你还在台上不肯散
Clown, oh clown,
小丑啊小丑
you really know how to steal the scene and more
你真会给自己加戏
(Outro)
Curtains close, my little clown,
谢幕了 小丑
the circus tent is gone
马戏团已经关门
Your red nose dropped upon the floor,
你的红鼻子掉了
nobody's left, no one
台下没有一个人
You call it love,
你说这是爱
but all we see is crazy obsession on the run
这明明就是疯狂的执念
Clown, oh clown,
小丑啊小丑
go wash your face,
回家卸妆吧
goodnight,
晚安
you're done
