Artist/Band: Petula Clark
Lyrics for Song: Tears Of A Clown
Lyrics for Album: Feeling Groovy [2005]



Now if there's a smile upon 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 diff'rent subject.

Don't let my glad expression

give you the wrong impression; really I'm sad,

Oh, sadder than sad, you're gone and I'm hurting 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.

Oh yeah, baby,



Now if I appear to be carefree,

it's only to camouflage my sadness;

in order 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,

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

the tears of a clown,

when there's no one around.



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.

Oh, yeah baby!



Now, if there's a smile on my face

Don't let my glad expression

Give you a wrong impression.

Don't let this smile I wear

Make you think that I don't care



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.
