you know I care a lot

I gave you everything I got

the little that I have - yeah

between the cigarettes and coke

I always find a joke

to make you smile

and sometimes when you are down

I will come around

to put your feet back on the ground - oh yeah



`cause you are in love with a clown

in love with a clown



your mom is not my friend, she didn't like the band

but that's okay with me

and the money that I make, can't pay the China that I break

that's okay with me

and I always spill with wine,

I never come in time

I forget to wash my feet

but I give you what you need

life is upside down



`cause you are in love with a clown

in love with a clown



I never promised you diamonds and pearls

`cause I would lose them somewhere in the town

you searched so hard for the men of your dreams

and what is what you found



the love of a clown...



and I always spill with wine,

I never come in time

I forget to wash my feet

but I give YOU what you need

life is upside down



`cause you are in love with a clown
