[00:00.00]The Tears Of A Clown - Smokey Robinson
[00:10.86]Now if there's a smile on my face
[00:16.84]It's only they're trying to fool the public
[00:20.04]But when it comes down to fooling you
[00:23.71]Now honey that's quite a different subject
[00:27.28]But don't let my glad expression
[00:30.93]Give you the wrong impression
[00:33.95]Really I'm sad oh sadder than sad
[00:39.33]You're gone and I'm hurting so bad
[00:42.58]Like a clown I pretend to be glad
[00:47.95]Now there's some sad things known to man
[00:51.43]But ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown
[00:57.31]When there's no one around
[01:00.33]Oh baby baby come
[01:04.69]Oh yeah baby now if I appear to be carefree
[01:11.25]It's only to camouflage my sadness
[01:15.02]In order to shield my pride I try
[01:17.92]To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
[01:21.63]But don't let my show convince you
[01:24.94]That I've been happy since you decided to go
[01:31.67]Oh I need you so I'm hurt and I want you to know
[01:37.63]But for others I put on a show
[01:42.64]Now there's some sad things known to man
[01:46.11]But ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown
[01:50.51]When there's no one around oh yeah
[01:57.14]Just like Pagliacci did
[02:00.65]I try to keep my sadness hid
[02:03.63]Smiling in the public eye
[02:06.56]But in my lonely room
[02:09.63]I cry the tears of a clown
[02:12.66]When there's no one around
[02:15.64]Oh yeah baby
[02:19.26]Now if there's a smile upon my face
[02:24.00]Don't let my glad expression
[02:27.20]Give you the wrong impression
[02:30.42]Don't let the smile I wear
[02:34.27]Make you think that I don't care
[02:37.25]Cause I quick quick quick quick quick
[02:40.58]Until count
