I`ll make you laugh when you`re blue
That way I can be close to you
From the start;
I play the part,
While I make you laugh
Someone else fills your heart
That`s the way of a clown
That`s the way of a clown
It`s the part I must play,
That`s the way of a clown
I laugh, with tears in my eyes
Like a clown, I wear a disguise
Can`t let you know,
I love you so,
You love someone else, so on with the show
That`s the way of a clown
That`s the way of a clown
It`s the part I must play
That`s the way of a clown
In my heart I keep praying
That some day you`ll come to me
But as I masquerade,
I`m afraid it never can be..
Pity me
That`s the way of a clown
That`s the way of a clown
It`s the part I must play
That`s the way of a clown
That`s the way of a clown
That way I can be close to you
From the start;
I play the part,
While I make you laugh
Someone else fills your heart
That`s the way of a clown
That`s the way of a clown
It`s the part I must play,
That`s the way of a clown
I laugh, with tears in my eyes
Like a clown, I wear a disguise
Can`t let you know,
I love you so,
You love someone else, so on with the show
That`s the way of a clown
That`s the way of a clown
It`s the part I must play
That`s the way of a clown
In my heart I keep praying
That some day you`ll come to me
But as I masquerade,
I`m afraid it never can be..
Pity me
That`s the way of a clown
That`s the way of a clown
It`s the part I must play
That`s the way of a clown
That`s the way of a clown
