The Tears Of A Clown – Smokey Robinson lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Oh yeah, yeah, yeahNow if there’s a smile on my faceIt’s only there trying to fool the publicBut when it comes down to fooling youNow honey, that’s quite a different subject
But don’t let my glad expression give you the wrong impressionReally, I’m sad (sad, sad, sad, sad)Oh, I’m sadder than sadYou’re gone and I’m hurtin’ so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad (sad, sad, sad, sad)Now there’s some sad things known to manBut ain’t too much sadder than the tears of a clownWhen there’s no one around, mmOh yeah, baby
Now if I appear to be carefree, it’s only to camouflage my sadnessIn order to shield my pride, I’ve tried to cover this hurt with a show of gladnessBut don’t let my show convince youThat I’ve been happy since you decided to go (why did you go?)Oh, I need you so (I need you so)I’m hurt and I want you to know (want you to know)But for others I put on a show (it’s just a show)
Ooh ah, there’s some sad things known to manBut there ain’t too much sadder than the tears of a clownWhen there’s no one around, oh yeah
Just like Pagliacci did, I try to keep my sadness hidSmiling in the public eye
But in my lonely room I cry the tears of a clownWhen there’s no one aroundOh yeah, babyNow if there’s a smile on my faceDon’t let my glad expression give you the wrong impressionDon’t let this smile I wear make you think that I don’t careReally, I’m sadHurtin’ so bad (crying all alone)
