They call me the clown
I can juggle while I'm spinning round
Take all the dark clouds away
With a well rehearsed display
The spotlights on me
And everybody wants the clown to be
The one who laughs at the world
They think I'm their funny girl
With a painted on smile
And laughter like a shield
When it hurts the most
I make a joke to hide the way I feel
Nobody wants you when you're down
But everyone loves a clown
I balance between
The truth and what lies hidden up my sleeve
And when it all gets too hard
I just play the joker card
Another curtain call
Another routine where I did it all
Every trick and surprise
To keep my thin disguise
A painted on smile
And laughter like a shield
When it hurts the most
I make a joke to hide the way I feel
Nobody wants you when you're down
But everyone loves a clown
Did you hear the one about the girl,
Who hid inside her circus world?
Now she wonders what it's all for
Coz it's not funny anymore
A painted on smile
And laughter like a shield
When it hurts the most
I make a joke to hide the way I feel
Nobody wants you when you're down
But everyone loves a clown
Everyone loves a clown
I can juggle while I'm spinning round
Take all the dark clouds away
With a well rehearsed display
The spotlights on me
And everybody wants the clown to be
The one who laughs at the world
They think I'm their funny girl
With a painted on smile
And laughter like a shield
When it hurts the most
I make a joke to hide the way I feel
Nobody wants you when you're down
But everyone loves a clown
I balance between
The truth and what lies hidden up my sleeve
And when it all gets too hard
I just play the joker card
Another curtain call
Another routine where I did it all
Every trick and surprise
To keep my thin disguise
A painted on smile
And laughter like a shield
When it hurts the most
I make a joke to hide the way I feel
Nobody wants you when you're down
But everyone loves a clown
Did you hear the one about the girl,
