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
