Oh yeah, yeah, yeahNow if there's a smile on my faceIt's only there trying to fool the publicBut when it comes down to fooling youNow honey, that's quite a different subjectBut don't let my glad expressionGive you the wrong impressionReally, I'm sadOh, I'm sadder than sadYou're gone and I'm hurtin' so badLike a clown I pretend to be gladNow there's some sad things known to manBut ain't too much sadder thanWhen there's no one aroundOh yeah, babyNow if I appear to be caeeIt's only to camouflage my sadnessIn order to shield my pride I've triedTo cover this hurt with a show of gladnessBut don't let my show convince youThat I've been happy since youDecided to goOh, I need you soI'm hurt and I want you to knowBut for others I put on a showOh, there's some sad things known to manBut there ain't too much sadder thanWhen there's no one around, oh yeahJust like Pagliacci didI try to keep my sadness hidSmiling in the public eyeBut in my lonely room I cryWhen there's no one aroundOh yeah, babyNow if there's a smile on my faceDon't let my glad expressionGive you the wrong impressionDon't let this smile I wearMake you think that I don't careReally, I'm sadHurtin' so bad
