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.
(INSTRUMENTAL:)
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'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..
Dreamin' of your love and not knowing where to start.
Dreamin' of your love and not knowin' where to start. (x3)(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
