In the evenin', when the lights are low
I hear him say he’ll love you so
But don’t believe him, he’s leavin' town
And he’ll make you, uum-uum, tomorrow’s clown
Oh, can’t you see, he’s playing it cool
Don’t let him make you such a fool
If you don’t see how he’ll let you down
You have no wish to be tomorrow’s clown
Tomorrow’s clown will be so lonely
Tomorrow’s clown won’t be so gay
Tomorrow’s clown will love me only
But I might have flown away
You better take a listen, little dreamer
You won’t be dreamin' long
He’s gonna leave ya, he’s gonna do you so wrong
And if you don’t see how he’ll let you down
You have no wish, you have no wish
To be tomorrow’s clown
