Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Now if there's a smile on 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 different subject
But don't let my glad expression give you the wrong impression
Really, I'm sad (sad, sad, sad, sad)
Oh, I'm sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad (sad, sad, sad, sad)
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, mm
Oh yeah, baby
Now if I appear to be carefree, it's only to camouflage my sadness
In order to shield my pride, I've tried to cover 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 (why did you go?)
Oh, I need you so (I need you so)
I'm hurt and I want you to know (want you to know)
But for others I put on a show (it's just a show)
Ooh ah, there's some sad things known to man
But there ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown
When there's no one around, oh yeah
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
When there's no one around
Oh yeah, baby
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 think that I don't care
Really, I'm sad
Hurtin' so bad (crying all alone)
