Well you treat me just like dirt
And you think that it doesn't hurt
Say I look so funny, baby even when I cry
You said I even look funny when I'm blue
Baby, I've got news for you
Hey yeah, you just about to lose your clown
What you gonna' do?
What you gonna' say?
Hey, without your funny man
To laugh at night and day?
You said I even look funny when I cry
Baby, you're in for a big surprise
Let me tell you mama, you're just about to lose your clown
Well, you treat me so mean and cruel
Using me for your personal fool
Reel my hope so high, then you send'em tumbling down
You said I even look funny when I'm blue
But baby, I've got news for you
Hey mama, you just about to lose your clown
What you gonna' do?
What you gonna' say?
Hey, without your funny man
To laugh at night and day?
You said I even look funny when I cry
Baby, you're on in for a big surprise
Well, you're just about to lose your clown
Let me tell you something baby,
You're just about to lose your clown
Don't you know little girl
I said, the circus is leaving town
