Why must you always seem to criticize me? I seems like everything I do just turns out wrong Why don't you come on out and despise me So I could pack my bag and baby I'd be gone?Remember when you used to call me honey Well, I'd turn around and call you honey too You might think it's a joke, but it ain't funny To hurt someone who's so in love with youA clown puts his make-up on upside down So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown You might think I'm here when you put me down But actually I'm on the other side of townMy body's in this room with you just catching hell While my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell You might think I'm listening to your grocery list But I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm about half way thereA clown puts his make-up on upside down So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown You might think I'm here when you put me down But actually I'm on the other side of townI'm sittin' on a chair just behind my ear Playing dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer When you get done talking I'll come back downstairs And assume the body of the person you presume who caresA clown puts his make-up on upside down So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown You might think I'm here when you put me down But actually I'm on the other side of town I'm across the river on the other side of town In my mind I'm going to the dog racing side of town
