Petula Clark - Tears of a Clown Lyrics




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
Oh, 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
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

Now, if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you a wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care

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
