Lyrics

The music plays, they turn the bright lights on
The crowd reacts, the big top show's begun
I stumble and I'm falling down, I'm picking up the pace
You know they love it every time I take a pie in the face
You got me running around
You turn me inside out
You leave me feeling like a clown
In the circus of love

She's mad again because I wrote this song
I wonder if she's ever done any wrong
I try to juggle her demands, whatever they may be
I put the face paint on again because, again, the joke's on me
You got me running around
You turn me inside out
You leave me feeling like a clown
In the circus of love
I'm just a clown in the circus of love

You say it's alright, everything's OK
And turn your back as it al goes down the drain
Don't say you don't know why you won't look me in the eye

She stands alone, a goddess in the sun
I stand accused of things I haven't done
Her lion tamer's eye's have got me
They're the only things I see
Her whip it keeps me running
But in this cage I'm never free
You got me running around
You turn me inside out
You leave me feeling like a clown
In the circus of love
I'm just a clown in the circus of love
