Tears Of A Clown - Sugar Merchant

The Tears Of A Clown - Various Artists
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 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,
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
Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
That you cover bad
Seconds to there's no one around
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the public eye
But in the lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
