Lyrics:

Don't want your lo-o-o-o-ove anymore
Don't want your ki-i-i-i-isses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he co-o-o-o-omes, that's Cathys clown

I've gotta stand tall, you know a man can't crawl
But when he knows you tell lies and he hears 'em passin' by
He's not a man at all

CHORUS

When you see me shed a tear, and you know that it's sincere
Don't cha think it's kinda sad that you're treatin' me so bad
Or don't you even care

CHORUS

FADE
That's Cathy's clown
That's Cathy's clown
