lyrics

You bring the spotlight
I'll bring the comedy
For a stupid stare
I'll act crazy

The sound of laughter
Hides my tragedy
So you can't see the pain
Deep inside me

I crack a joke at my own expense
But on the inside I'm dying
I can make you laugh
Leave you in suspense
I'm lots of fun

'Cause I want you to be amused
I want you, to be amused

I'm the jester at your party
All your friends say "That's funny"
But when I need a friend, or need some money
You don't take my call, I go hungry

I crack a joke at my own expense
But on the inside I'm dying
I can make you laugh
Leave you in suspense
I'm lots of fun

'Cause I want you to be amused
I want you, to be amused

I'm just a side show, a two-bit comedy
I'm your favorite fool, I'm nobody
I want make you laugh, and think I'm funny
So I can hide the pain
Deep inside me

I crack a joke at my own expense
But on the inside I'm dying
I can make you laugh
Leave you in suspense
I'm lots of fun

'Cause I want you to be amused
I want you, to be amused
I want you to be amused
I want you, to be amused
