The Tears Of A Clown （Album Version Stereo） - Smokey Robinson （史摩基羅賓遜）/The Miracles
Written by：Henry CosbySmokey RobinsonStevie Wonder
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
Cos really I 'm sad oh I'm sadder than sad
Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad
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
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
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show
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
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
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
Cause really I'm sad
