Karaoké The Tears of a Clown Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

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 hurting so bad

Like a clown

I pretend to be glad

Now they're some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than

The tears of a clown when there's no one around

Mmm mmm 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

Oh 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 ooh ooh oh oh

They're some sad things known to man

But there 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 my lonely room I cry

The tears of a clown when there's no one around oh yeah 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

Really l'm sad hurting so bad

Crying all the time ooh ooh
