The Tears Of A Clown (Album Version / Mono)

Tears Of A Clown （Fredco Mix）- The Miracles

Now if there's a smile upon 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 diff'rent subject

Don't let my glad expression

give you the wrong impression really I'm 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

Oh yeah 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

But Don't let my show convince you

that I've been happy since you decided to go

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

but ain't 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 I cry

the tears of a clown

Oh yeah baby
