Tears of a Clown

Tears of a Clown - Phil Collins (菲爾·柯林斯)

Lyrics by：Hank Cosby/Smokey Robinson/Stevie Wonder

Oh yeha baby

Yeha

Oh yeha baby

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

'Cause really I'm sad sad sad oh I'm sadder than sad

Darling I'm hurtin' gonna so bad

Like a clown I ap'pear to be glad

Sad sad sad sad sad

Well 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

Oh yeah baby baby

Oh yeah baby 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 need to go oh I need you so

I need you so

I need you

Look I'm hurt and I want you to know

Want you

For others I put on a show

I put on a show

I say this sad things gonna made

And too more sadder than

The tears of a clown

Just like Pagliacci did

I try to keep my surface hid

Smiling in the crowd I try

But in a lonely room I cry

The tears of a clown

When there's no one around oh yeah baby 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

The tears of a clown

Yeah the tears of a clown

When there's no one around
