my friends every
day as I pass them on the street
I stop to tell a joke or two and I
smile at everyone I meet
Show them all a happy face
They only see me laugh
They only see the happy me
They don't see the other half
If they just turn me over
They're gonna see that
I'm really too sad to be
And I hurt all on the other side
But I cry, cause I was too gay
Now I hurt all on the other side
But I keep my tears from you
Girls I've won, girls I've lost
But really I don't care
At least that's what I make them think
All my secrets I never share
Once I had a special girl
I loved her, love her so now baby
Then one day she went away
Now my feelings I cannot show
If they just turn me over,
they're gonna see there's really two sides of me
And I hurt all on the other side
But I cry when I'm alone, yeah
Now I hurt all on the other side
But I keep my tears at home
An actor's life is not for me,
but I play the part so well
Though my heart is broken down inside,
no one can ever tell
They look at me, but they don't see
this sad but lonely clown now, baby
If they took a closer look,
they'd see my smile was upside down
If they just turn me over,
they're gonna see that
It's really too sad to see
And I hurt all on the other side
But I cry, solitude, yeah baby
I hurt all on the other side
But I keep my tears from spilling
Hurtin' on the other side
It don't feel so good
