People say I'm the life of the party -- 'Cause I tell a joke or two

Although I might be laughing loud and hearty -- Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face

You know my smile looks out of place

If you look closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears

Since you left me if you see me with another guy -- Looking like I'm having fun

Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute -- 'Cause you're the permanent one

CHORUS

Bridge: Outside I'm masquerading -- Inside my hope is fading

I'm just a clown, oh -- since you put me down

My smile is my make up -- I wear since my break-up with you

CHORUS
