Clown

Mariah Carey

Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh…
(I guess your mamma never told you that)
(What goes around, comes back around)

I should've left it at, how ya doin'
I should've left it at I like your music too, and
I should've never called you back when you pursued me
I should've never given you my fucking two way
I should've never listened to your woeful stories
The ones I'm sure you told a thousand times before me
You should've never intimated we were lovers
When you know very well we never even touched each other

Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and (don't)
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll (mmm) runs out (mmm…)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down (mmm, mmm)
[I guess your mamma never told you that]
[What goes around, comes back around]
(Oh…eh)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
(Ow, ow, mmm, mmm, mmm)
[I guess your mamma never told you that]
[What goes around, comes back around]
(I don't…)

I gotta break it to ya delicately, "dunny"
Takin' my G5 twenty minutes wasn't nothin'
But I guess you wouldn't know
That's the way I roll
Consequently now your ego's fully overblown
You don't want the world to know
That you're just a puppet show
And the little boy inside often sits at home alone
And cries, cries, cries, cries
(Boo, ooh…)

Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out
(When your bankroll runs out)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over (oh…oh, yeah)
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
Nobody, nobody

Your pain is so deep rooted
What will your life become
Sure you hide it
But you're lost and lonesome
Still just a frail "shook one", mmm

(Tell me who's gonna love you? Who? I'd like to know)
Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out
(If you didn't have nothing)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
(Who, who'd still be there)
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
(Nobody, nobody, nobody)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
(Oh, there ain't nobody, baby)
(Bullies in the schoolyard)
[I guess your mamma never told you that]
[What goes around, comes back around]
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
(When they fall they fall hard, oh)
(Yeah, so you better think twice, better play nice)
[I guess your mamma never told you that]
[What goes around, comes back around]

Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and
(Cause who's, ooh, gonna be there when the jokes on you)
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out
(A marionette show, oh)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
(Who's makin' you move though)
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
(I know what kills you slow)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
(I'm gonna keep your little secret though, mmm, mmm)
[I guess your mamma never told you that]
[What goes around, comes back around]
(And you know that I know, oh)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down
(You're no superhero)
[I guess your mamma never told you that]
[What goes around, comes back around]

Hmm…
Pow
