Everybody loves a clown, so why don’t you?
Everybody laughs at the things that I say and do.
They all laugh when they say me coming,
But you don’t laugh; you just go home running.

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 wondered why this clown is crying,
look a little closer; inside I’m dying.
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 want to be.
Why can’t you see the other side of me?

Guess I’ll be the guy who plays the part
Of a clown with a broken heart.

Dreaming of your love,
and not knowing where to start.
