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
