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 different subject
But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Really I'm sad
Oh I'm sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurtin' 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
Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camoflage 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 that since you decided to go
Oh I need you so
I'm hurt and I want you to know
That for others I put on a show
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
Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my sadness hid
Smiling in the public eye
But in the lonely room I cry the tears of a clown
When there's no one around, oh yeah baby
Now if there's a smile upon 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
When really I'm sad
