Oo, I'm cryin', tears are fallin' down
I'm cryin' the lonely tears of clowns
I'm tryin' to wear a smilin' face
It was just yesterday things then they felt okay
Now that has all gone away

Oo, I'm cryin' the only tears of clowns
I'm tryin' tryin' and rain's fallin' down
I'm cryin' and that's a lonely place
If I could hide the pain, if I could stop the rain,
Then all my cryin' could be gone

Oo, rain, who will stop the rain, the rain?
Oo, I'm cryin', the tears are fallin' down
I'm tryin', the rain still beats the ground
I'm cryin' those lonely tears of clowns

Lonely, lonely tears,
Lonely, lonely tears
