Gary Lewis And The Playboys - Everybody Loves A Clown lyrics

Everybody Loves A Clown Gary Lewis and the Playboys Written by Gary Lewis, Snuff Garrett, and Leon Russell Peak chart position # 4 in 1965 Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you? Everybody laughs at the things I say and do They all laugh when they see me comin' But you don't laugh, you just go home runnin' Everybody loves a clown, so why can't you? A clown has feelings, too I joke around at a party when you are there But you don't laugh, you don't look, you just don't care If you wonder why this clown is cryin' Look a little closer, inside I'm dyin' It's not easy to be in love, you see When you're a clown like me' I don't know how to say that I love you 'cause you would smile and say "Tell a joke or two" Yes, I'm a clown but I don't want to be Why can'tcha see the other side of me? Guess I'll be the guy who plays the part Of a clown with a broken heart
