Hi Lipschitz! Here's a song for you both.
Now if there's a smile on my face,
it's only there tryin' to fool the public,
but when it comes down to foolin' 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, sadder than sad.
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad.
Like a clown I pretend to be glad.
(Chorus)
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 yea, 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.
Oh, I need you so.
I'm hurt and I want you to know
But for others I put on a show.
(Chorus)
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 suface 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 yea 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 I'm sad
Hurtin' so bad......
