Lately I'm not feeling like I used to
I'm hearing different stories every day
I used to be someone people believed in
But now they just laugh and turn the other way
[Chorus:]
And just when you, just when you
Think you've found a friend in this town
Somebody goes and spreads it around
And you're the town clown
I couldn't stand the thought of you cheating
I'd like to think that I could never tell
It turns out you were down on Lower Broadway
It turns out it was someone I knew well
And just when you, just when you
Think you know a man so well
It turns out he's fooling around
And you're the town clown
[Chorus]
And just when you, just when you
Think you know a man so well
That no good's fooling around
And you're the town clown
You're the town clown
You're the town clown
