Nikka Costa — Hes My Clown

He's the boy that everybody's putting down He dresses up like circuses And paints the town He puts on funny faces just to catch my eye No one understands why I like this crazy guy He's my clown (He's so stupid, baby What's with cupid Can't you see it?) He's my clown (Played it smart Until he got your heart Now he will break it!) He's my clown (He's so cool, girl Now that you're his fool, girl Won't you wake up?) He's my clown (His best buddy says that He is nutty Don'tcha let him in!) Go ahead and laugh At all the clothes he wears Long as we're together Well, I just don't care He says one day, baby We'll take off and fly Merry-go-rounds Ferris wheels And rolly coaster rides He's my clown (He's so icky You should be more picky You need glasses) He's my clown (He's outrageous, baby It's contagious Don't you catch it!) He's my clown (Watch it, honey I will bet you money He will hurt you) He's my clown (He is trouble Get out on the double Don't you be a fool!) You think it's tragic I think he's magic He makes every day a happy carnival Life is a circus Nothing can hurt us We'll turn every frown we see Into a smile And if I'm dreaming Don't wake me now Ooh, he's so special From his head down to his toes He finds ways of havin' fun Nobody knows When he talks and he laughs His whole face lights right up You're just jealous So please keep your big mouth shut He's my clown (You wouldn' know one Even if you saw one Neh Neh Neh Neh) He's my clown (Sticks and stones Can always break his bones But words can't hurt him) He's my clown (You're just jealous You know you can't have him Ha Ha Ha Ha) He's my clown (You don't like him But you'd like one Iike him Leave the boy alone) He's my clown
