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, 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
Uh hum, oh yeah baby

Now if I appear to be carefree
It´s only to camouflage my sadness
And honey 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, oh I need you so
I´m hurt and I want you to know
But for others I put on a show, ooh yeah

[Chorus]

Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface 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 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
When really I´m sad´I´m hurting so bad´
