The Tears Of A Clown Lyrics - Singles - 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 appear to be glad (sad, sad, sad, sad) 

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, uh 

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 

'Cause I had to go (why did you go), oh I need you so (I need you so) 

Look I'm hurt and I want you to know (want you to know) 

For others I put on a show (it's just a show)
