The Clown Lyrics by Reba McEntire
[Reba McEntire]
After a couple of bottle of red wine, the truth finally came out
The words “I don’t love you anymore” spilled from his mouth
So I looked to the waiter for some consolation
But he just poured the coffee, and without hesitation
He said, “Ma’am, is that all you’ll be needing tonight?”
[Reba McEntire]
And oh, the piano kept playing
And nobody noticed the heart in the corner booth breaking
Cell phones kept ringin’, glasses were clinkin’
Everyone laughin’ and dancin’ and singin’
So I painted a smile on my face to cover the frown
In that room full of jokers and jesters, I was the clown
[Reba McEntire]
Well, you can’t walk the *** wire of love and be afraid to fall
And you can’t put all of your faith in a gypsy’s crystal ball
We just do what we do, take the chances we take
Show me a life without a mistake
Oh, we all learn our lessons and we all fall down
[Reba McEntire]
And oh, the piano keeps playing
And nobody notices the heart in the corner booth breaking
Cell phones keep ringin’, glasses keep clinkin’
Everyone laughin’ and dancin’ and singin’
So if you paint a big smile on your face to cover the frown
In that room full of jokers and jesters, sometimes you’re the clown
[Reba McEntire]
When the circus is over and the tents are pulled down
The truth is, the show must go on for the clown
[Reba McEntire]
And oh, the piano kept playing
