The Tears Of A Clown Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Lezn 

Cover art for The Tears Of A Clown lyrics by Smokey Robinson

It should be:

Just like Pagliacci did, I try to keep my sadness hid (not surface)

And yes it is also "smiling in the public eye," not "smiling in the club at night."

I've seen Karaoke disks which say 'Just like Polly Archer did' instead of 'Just like Pagliacci did' .... Hillarious!
