Leo Sayer — Tears of a Clown

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 Oh, sadder than sad, you're gone and I'm hurting 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 Oh yeah, baby Now if I appear to be carefree It's only to camouflage my sadnеss In order to shield my pride I try to covеr 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! Now, if there's a smile on my face Don't let my glad expression Give you a wrong impression Don't let this smile I wear Make you think that I don't care 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
