Lyrics:

The Clown

You love the way it makes me feel when I can�t catch my breath
Like walkin� 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 loves 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
