The Clown Song

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

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
