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`

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`tcha 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
FADE
Dreamin` of your love and not knowin` where to start
