What Are The Lyrics For The Tears Of A Clown By Smokey Robinson?

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.

Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression

Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown.

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 the smile I wear

Make you think I don't care.

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.
Now there's some
