Oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
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 there's quite a different subject
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression really upset
Sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurting so bad
I pretend like a clown
I pretend to be glad
Sad sad sad sad oh
Now there's some sad things known to man
But I'm 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
Is 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
Why can't you
Oh I need you so I need you I'm hurting
I want you to know
I want you but for others I put on a show
It's just a show
Now there's some sad things known to man
But I'm too much sadder than the tears of a clown
When there's no one around
Oh yeah just like pagliacci breath
I try to keep my sadness hids 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 upon my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile away
Tears of you think that I don't care
Don't let this smile away
