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
Oh I＇m sadder than sad
Youre gone and I＇m hurtin so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad
Now there some sad things known to man
But ain＇t too much sadder than
The tears of a clown
When there＇s no one around
（Mmm hmm Oh yea 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
Of that I＇ve been happy since you
Cause I let you go
Ohh I need you so
I＇m hurt and I want you to know
But for others I put on a show
Ohh ohh ohh o
Theres 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 Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smilin in the public eye
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there＇s no one around
Oh yea baby
Now if there＇s a smile on my face
Don＇t let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
But don＇t let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don＇t care
Really I＇m sad hurt me so bad
