Here I come, the king of clowns
As I hide behind this smile and paint the town
Though I cry since you're gone
You'll never know because the show must go on

I've been sad, I've been sad
I've been blue, I've been blue
Ever since the day that you found someone new
Someone new
I pretend but you can't tell
With my broken heart I play my part so well
Step aside, here I come

The king of clowns
I make believe with a smile
As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down
But the king of clowns is crying all the while
Here comes the king of clowns
Here comes the king of clowns

There are tears, there are tears
You'll never see, never see
No you'll never see my tears and pity me
Pity me
Though I'm hurt, still I'm proud
Always laughing as I walk among the crowd

Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns
As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down
I make believe with a smile
But the king of clowns is crying all the while
Here comes the king of clowns
Here comes the king of clowns
Here comes the king of clowns
