Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...
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 different subject
Don't let my
glad expression
Give you the
wrong impression
Really I'm sad
Oh sadder than sad
You're gone and
I'm hurting so bad
Like a clown
I pretend to be glad
Oooh, 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,
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
Oh I need you so
I'm hurt and
I want you to know
But for others
I put on a show
Oooh-yeah,
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...
Just like
Polly Archer did
I try to keep
my surface hid
Smiling in
the public eye
But in my
lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's
no-one around
Oh yeah baby...
Now if there's a
smile upon 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
