Ha, there goes the funny man
The life of the party, that's me
And they'd never guess
That I had a care
They'd be amazed to see me cry
When the party's through
Cry over you
Talk loud, funny man
In the crowd, funny man
You're in rare form today
Leave em' laughing as you walk away, yeah, yeah
But they wouldn't laugh
If they only knew that I'll go home alone
To cry, cry the whole night through
Cry over you
And who's to know that this clever clown
Is really the fool of a town?
Yes, who's to know the girl I loved
Laughed when she turned me down?
So, tell a joke, funny man
Be gay, funny man
Don't give yourself away, funny man
Pretend you didn't love her anyway
Act as though nothin's wrong
Wear good smile to go alone
Then cry, cry the whole night through
'Cause there's nothin' you can do
Look-a there, there he goes Ha, there goes the funny man The life of the party, that's me And they'd never guess That I had a care They'd be amazed to see me cry When the party's through Cry over you Talk loud, funny man In the crowd, funny man You're in rare form today Leave em' laughing as you walk away, yeah, yeah But they wouldn't laugh If they only knew that I'll go home alone To cry, cry the whole night through Cry over you And who's to know that this clever clown Is really the fool of a town? Yes, who's to know the girl I loved Laughed when she turned me down? So, tell a joke, funny man Be gay, funny man Don't give yourself away, funny man Pretend you didn't love her anyway Act as though nothin's wrong Wear good smile to go alone Then cry, cry the whole night through 'Cause there's nothin' you can do Explain Request ×
