Clown

Clown

Uh-uh, yeah, yeah-eh, yeah-eh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
(I guess your mama never told you)
(That what goes-around comes-back around)

I should've left it at How ya doin
I should've left it at I like your music, too
And, I should've never called you back when you pursued me
I should've never given you my fuckin' two-way
I should've never listened to your woeful stories
The ones I'm sure you told a thousand times before me
You should've never intimated we were lovers
When you knew, very well, we never even touched each other

Who's gonna love you, when it all falls down?
And who's gonna love you, when your bankroll runs out?
Who's gonna care, when the novelty's over?
When the star of the show isn't you, anymore

Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
(I guess your mama never told you)
(That what goes-around comes-back around)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
(I guess your mama never told you)
(That what goes-around comes-back around)

I gotta break it to ya delicately, honey
Takin' my G5 twenty minutes wasn't nothin'
But I guess you wouldn't know: That's the way I roll
Consequently, now, your ego's fully overblown
You don't want the world to know that you're just a puppet show
And the little boy inside often sits at home, alone, and cries, cries, cries, cries

Who's gonna love you, when it all falls down?
Who's gonna love you, when your bankroll runs out? (When the bank runs out)
Who's gonna care, when the novelty's over? (Oh, oh, oh)
When the star of the show isn't you anymore

Your pain is so deep-rooted, what will your life become?
Sure, you'll hide it
But you're lost and lonesome
Still, just a frail, shook one

Tell me, who's gonna love you? Oh, I'd like to know
(Who's gonna love you, when it all falls down?)
(Who's gonna love you, when your bankroll runs out?)
If you didn't have nothin', who? (Who's gonna care, when the novelty's over?)
Who would be there? Nobody, nobody, nobody
(When the star of the show isn't you anymore)

Oh, there ain't nobody, baby
(Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down)
Bullies in the school yard, when they fall, they fall hard
(I guess your mama never told you that what goes-around comes-back around)
(Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down)
(I guess your mama never told you that what goes-around comes-back around)
Yeah, so, you better think twice, better play nice
'Cause who's gonna be there, when the joke's on you?

(Who's gonna love you, when it all falls down?)
(Who's gonna love you, when your bankroll runs out?)
A marionette show, (who's gonna care, when the novelty's over?)
Who's makin' your move, boy? (When the star of the show isn't you anymore)
I know what kills you slow (nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down)
I'm gonna keep your little secret, though
(I guess your mama never told you that what goes-around comes-back around)
And you know that I know you're no superhero
(Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down)
(I guess your mama never told you that what goes-around comes-back around)

(Hehehe, 'pow!)
