Face of a Clown

It's hard for me to smile
I feel like crying
Yet I always manage to grin
Friends won't know the pain that I feel
Or the misery that I'm in

Everyone thinks I'm happy
For I smile and never frown
But looks are deceiving
And nobody knows the hurt behind the face of a clown

I've got my pride
My tears I'll hide whenever you are around
You never may know you hurt me so
For I have a face of a clown

I'll try to conceal this pain that I feel
I can't let it get me down
You won't have the pleasure of knowing the hurt
Behind the face of a clown
You won't have the pleasure of knowing the hurt
Behind the face of a clown
