Clown Town
by: Neil DiamondWhen a guy's been made a fool of
By a gal who only wants to play
He goes to a lonely place where lovers
Who are broken hearted stay
They call it clown town, frown town
No joy around town and you see
That's just where I've been stayin'
Since you made a clown out of me
Baby, won't you come and get me?
I can't take it here another day
It's not very hard to find
It's no more than a broken heart away
They call it clown town, frown town
No joy around town and you see
That's just where I'll be stayin'
Baby, till you set me free
They call it clown town, frown town
No joy around town and you see
That's just where I'll be stayin'
Baby, till you set me free
(Till you set me free)
They call it clown town, frown town
No joy around town and you see
That's just where I'll be stayin'
Baby, till you set me free
(Till you set me free)
They call it clown town, frown town
Come on and get me, baby
You know, how much I need you
