Fool For You In Love

You look at me and mostly see
The simplest of clowns
Acting out the fool in all I do
Whenever you're around

Not just the nose that's red of course
As I embarrass myself too much
Trying to empress with what little I have
This fool for you in love

With the atmosphere of Circus here
I pull out all the stops
Imagine me in Center Ring
Giving it all I've got

A clown that hopes you love bad jokes
And can not get enough
Taking that thought all the way to the Big Top 
This fool for you in love

Juggling with all my might this crazy life
To bring you closer to me
The Greatest Show on Earth for all we're worth
Anyone has ever seen

With painted smile mile after mile
Not resting till I'm done
All a part of me you can clearly see
This fool for you in love
