Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
Everybody in this town can see
How you laugh while you're stepping over me
I put on a smile so no one knows
But my heart is breaking under these old clothes
[chorus]
I'm not gonna be your clown no more
Don't come around and knock upon my door
You made a fool of me in front of everyone
I'm not gonna be your clown, no, I'm done
[verse]
You call my name when there's no one else around
Then you disappear when the crowd's in town
I've played this part for far too many years
Standing here behind a mask of tears
[chorus]
I'm not gonna be your clown no more
Don't come around and knock upon my door
You made a fool of me in front of everyone
I'm not gonna be your clown, no, I'm done
[bridge]
Maybe someday you'll understand
What it cost to be your leading man
But I won't wait around to see
I'm taking back what's left of me
[chorus]
I'm not gonna be your clown no more
Don't come around and knock upon my door
You made a fool of me in front of everyone
I'm not gonna be your clown, no, I'm done
