The Clown

Gene Summers

I'm just a clown

With a broken heart

A lonely boy

Playing a part

Others may love

And be loved in return

But a clown's love

Is never returned



Tears in my eyes

When no one can see

A smile on my lips

When you are near me

No one will know

It's only a part

I keep on playing

With a broken heart



CHORUS:

I thought that you could love me

That I had found the one

But who can love a fool

Yeah, who...who can love a clown



Tears in my eyes

When no one can see

A smile on my lips

When you are near me

No one will know

It's only a part

I keep on playing

With a broken heart

I keep on playing

With a broken heart..I keep on playing...(FADE)
