Lyrics:

Say oh yeah baby baby

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

So don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Cos really I'm sad (so sad sad)

Oh I'm sadder than sad (so sad sad)

Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad (so sad sad)

Like a clown I appear to be glad

Ooh 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

Say oh yeah baby baby baby

Oh yeah baby baby baby

Now if I appear to be carefree

It's only to camouflage my sadness

And honey to shield my pride I try

To cover this hurt with a show of gladness

So don't let my show convince you

That I've been happy since you decided to go

Oh I need you so

Look I'm hurt and I want you to know

Just for others I put on a show

Ooh yeah

There's some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than

The tears of a clown

Just like Pagliacci did

I'm gonna keep my surface hid

Hiding in my room I try

But in this lonely room I cry

The tears of a clown

When there's no one around

Now if there's a smile on my face

Don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Don't let this smile I wear

Make you feel that I don't care

The tears of a clown

Tears of a clown

The tears of a clown

I'm going down de town

I'm going downtown

Tears of a clown
