paroles de chanson Tears of a Clown (Opera House - Boston, MA: November 19, 1982) - The Beat

So there's a smile on my face
It's only there tryin' to fool the public
But when it comes down to foolin' you
Well now honey that's quite a different subject

So don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Cuz really I'm sad (so sad, sad)
Oh I'm sadder than sad (so sad, sad)
Look I'm hurt and I want you so bad (so sad, sad)
Like a clown I appear to be glad

Ooo ooo 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

I said oh yeah baby baby baby
Oh yeah baby 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
So don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you decided to go
All I need you so
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
Just for others I put on a show

Ooo ooo yeah
There's some sad things known to man
But it ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around

So just like Pagliacci did
I'm gonna keep my sadness hid
Hiding in the gloom I try
But in this lonely room I cry
Tears of a clown
When there's no one around

So if there's a smile on my face
Well don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you feel that I don't care

The tears of a clown
The tears of a clown
The tears of a clown
The tears of a clown
The tears of a clown
The tears of a clown
The tears of a clown
The tears of a clown
The tears of a clown
