I was a clown when I thought I had found
A love for me and only me but she laughed at the clown
Turned him down, turned him down

I never frown, ah, ah, ah, I'm the clown
For it breaks my heart, I play the part of a clown
Running round, trouble bound, I'm the clown

I wander all around wondering if you ever cared
I go from place to place, I look from face to face
Hoping that you will be there

All over town, the word is out, it's all around
That I love her still, guess, I always will I'm the clown
Running round, trouble bound, I'm the clown
