"Smokey" Robinson - The Tears of a Clown

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
Cause really I'm sad, oh, I'm sadder than sad
You're gone, and I'm hurtin' 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...
