Lyrics:
Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you?
Everybody laughs at the things that 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't ya 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
