TwinklingStar Laydee's blog: "just notes of interest"

Now if there's a smile on my face

It's only they're 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

Really I'm sad, oh sadder than sad

You're gone and I'm hurting so bad

Like a clown I pretend to be glad
Now there's 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

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 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 sadness hid. Smiling in the public eye. 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 that I don't care

Really I'm sad I'm hurting so bad
