Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
Don’t want your love anymore
Don’t want your kisses, that’s for sure
I die each time
I hear this sound:
“Here he comes. That’s Cathy’s clown.”
I’ve gotta stand tall
You know a man can’t crawl
But when he knows you’re tellin’ lies
And he hears them passing’ by
He’s not a man at all
Don’t want your love anymore
Don’t want your kisses, that’s for sure
I die each time
I hear this sound:
“Here he comes. That’s Cathy’s clown.”
When you see me shed a tear
And you know that it’s sincere
Don’t you think it’s kind of sad
That you’re treating me so bad
Or don’t you even care?
Don’t want your love anymore
Don’t want your kisses, that’s for sure
I die each time
I hear this sound:
“Here he comes.
That’s Cathy’s clown
That’s Cathy’s clown
That’s Cathy’s clown.”
