I AM A CLOWN

Words & Music by Tony Romeo

See the funny little clown.
See the puppet on a string.
Wind him up and he will sing.
Give him candy.. he will dance.
But be certain not to feel
If his funny face is real.

Stop right up and see him folks.
Couldn’t you die at all his jokes?
Couldn’t you cry at all his tricks
He’ll come up with in a fix?
But be certain not to stray,
He will steal your heart away.

I am a clown, I am a clown.
You’ll always see me smile,
You’ll never see me frown.
Sometimes my scenes are good
Sometimes their bad.
Not funny ha-ha, funny sad.

I am a clown, look at the clown.
Always the laughing face
Whenever you’re around.
Always the same routine,
I never change.
Not funny ho-ho, funny strange.

Sometimes I think the world is a circus town.
Sometimes I feel I belong in a side show.
That man on the flying trapeze,
He ain’t never coming down.
He know’s what I know….
If you look inside,
If I didn’t hide, you might decide
You don’t want me.

I am a clown, that’s why I’m a clown.
Just like the fool on the hill
Begging to come down
I want to live again,
I want to feel.
Tell me you love me, make me real.
