Lyrics

Now if there's a smile upon my face It's only there tryna fool the public But when it comes down to fooling you Now honey that's a different subject But don't let my glad expression Go on and give you the wrong impression, 'cause really I'm sad Ooh, I'm 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 Ain't too much sadder than The tears of a clown when there's no one around Now if I appear to be carefree It's only there just to hide 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 ever since you decided to go Ooh, 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 And 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, oh, I cry The tears of a clown Now if there's a smile upon my face It's only there just to fool the public But when it comes down to fooling you Ooh, baby, that's a different subject So don't let my glad expression Go on and give you the wrong impression, 'cause really I'm sad I'm sadder than sad, you're gone, and I'm hurting so bad Like a clown, I pretend to be glad, yeah Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-yeah Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
