The Clown lyrics

You love the way it makes me feel

When I can't catch my breath.

Like walking on a high wire,

Lord, it scares me half to death.

You're always high above me

And I'm always fallin' down.

Our love's just a circus, baby,

And I'm just the clown.

And I'll do tricks for you,

Just like you want me to.

I'll do anything it takes,

Just to hang around.

I'll paint a smile for you,

To cover up my frown,

'Cause our love's a circus,

And I'm just the clown.

Everyone's in love with you,

But they just look at me and laugh.

And I'll bet: when they see me cry,

They think it's just an act.

Ah, but someday, when it's over

And we bring the big top down,

You can say it was one big circus

And I was just the clown.

And I'll do tricks for you,

Just like you want me to.

I'll do anything it takes

Just to hang around.

I'll paint a smile for you,

To cover up my frown,

'Cause you love the circus,

But you don't love the clown.
