I'm just a clown
with a broken heart
a lonely boy
playing a part
others may love
and be loved in return
but a clown's love
is never returned
Tears in my eyes
when no one can see
a smile on my lips
when you are near me
no one will know
it's only a part
i keep on playing
with a broken heart
Chorus:
i thought that you could love me
that i had found the one
but who can love a fool
yeah, who...who can love a clown
Tears in my eyes
when no one can see
a smile on my lips
when you are near me
no one will know
it's only a part
i keep on playing
with a broken heart
i keep on playing
with a broken heart..i keep on playing...(fade)
