[Verse 1]
You always have to be the star of the play
I guess you broke a lot of hearts that way
But if I'm not the leading lady of the show
I guess I'm gonna have to let you know
[Chorus]
I won't play the part of a clown, don't you know
Won't let you pick me up and put me down
I won't be a Pagliacci in disguise
Laughing on the outside, while inside, I'm crying
(You've got me crying, you've got me crying)
[Verse 2]
You always sway girls' minds, you play the part so well
You'd win an Oscar for the lies you tell
But you better find a new script to repeat
'Cause a part-time part is not my meet
[Chorus]
I won't play the part of a clown, don't you know
Won't let you pick me up and put me down
I won't be a Pagliacci in disguise
Laughing on the outside, while inside, I'm crying
(You've got me crying)
[Bridge]
Well, the stage of life is a serious thing
Don't you understand the play of love is not a game
One day, the curtains will fall on you
And someone will pull their act on you
[Chorus]
Then you'll play the part of a clown, don't you know
Someone will pick you up and put you down
Then you'll be a Pagliacci in disguise
Laughing on the outside, while inside, you'll be crying
(You've got me crying, you've got me crying)
[Outro]
You'll be laughing on the outside, while inside, you'll be crying, oh yeah (You've got me crying, you've got me crying)
You'll be laughing on the outside, while inside, you'll be crying, you'll be crying (You've got me crying, you've got me crying)
You'll be crying (You've got me crying, you've got me crying)
