• Artist: Mariah Carey
• Song Title: Clown
• Album: Charmbracelet

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 f**king 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 know very well we never even touched each other.

CHORUS:
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...
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
I gotta break it to ya delicately, dummy
Takin' my 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 (Boo hoo. Who?)

REPEAT CHORUS

Nobody (Nobody) Your pain is so deep rooted. What will your life become?
Sure you hide it, but you're lost and lonesome.
Still just a frail shook one.

REPEAT CHORUS 2X W/AD-LIBS:
(Tell me who's gonna love you? Who? I'd like to know)
(If you didn't have nothing)
(Who, who'd still be there)
(Nobody, nobody, nobody, oh)
(There ain't nobody baby)
(Bullies in the schoolyard)
(When they fall they fall hard)
(Yeah... so you)
(Better think twice, better play nice)
('Cause who's gonna be there?)
(When the jokes on you)
(A marionette show)
(Who's makin' you move though)
(I know what kills you slow)
(I'm gonna keep your little)
(Secret though, mmmm, hmmmm)
(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 around. Pow!!)
