Smile Of A Clown

PAIN, BIG PAIN keeps right on hurting me you left me lonely as a boy can be



I'VE GOT TO smile so it don't show but everybody knows

I'm wearing the smile of a clown



Laugh clown laugh clown I THINK that's what they say

oh how long can I go on this way



Telling jokes all over town knowing all the while I'm

wearing the smile of a clown



Sure I'm laughin' laughin' to keep from cryin' cryin'



But I'm just hidin' hidin' the hurt you left my darlin'



Why oh why must I go on this way you left me lonely only yesterday



I look in the mirror dear saw a face and a tear wearing

the smile of a clown



Sure I'm laughin' laughin'...



I'm wearing the smile of a clown
