Everybody loves a clown, so why don t you?
Everybody laughs at the things I say and do
They all laugh when they see me comin
But you don t laugh, you just go home runnin
Everybody loves a clown, so why can t you?
A clown has feelings, too

I joke around at a party when you are there
But you don t laugh, you don t look, you just don t care
If you wonder why this clown is cryin
Look a little closer, inside I m dyin
It s not easy to be in love, you see
When you re a clown like me

I don t know how to say that I love you
cause you would smile and say "Tell a joke or two"
Yes, I m a clown but I don t wanna be
Why can tcha see the other side of me?
Guess I ll be the guy who plays the part
Of a clown with a broken heart

Dreamin of your love and not knowing where to start
Dreamin of your love and not knowin where to start
FADE
Dreamin of your love and not knowin where to start
