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
