Verse I
I'm just a boy no earrings or tattoos
don't have many friends, don't like to do like they do.
Now I'm not as smart maybe as some other guys,
get so confused tryin to remember my lines.
Chorus I
Tell me, tell me, can you tell me why
I do no do feel the way that I could, No
Tell me, tell me, tell me why do I smile?
Is it you girl, because ya are so good?
Verse II
I went to the circus and was late for the show
when I met a sad clown with big hair and red nose,
He said, "Boy, I'm sorry, but the circus won't do!
Don't need a fool lookin funny as you."
Bridge
But I got the feeling He'd rather be in my shoes.
Chorus II
Tell me, tell me, can you tell me why
I do the things I wish not to do but,
Tell me, tell me, tell me why do I smile?
Is it you girl, cuse ya are so good.
Chorus III
Tell me, tell me, can you tell me why
I do not feel so sad as I could
Tell me, tell me, tell me why do I smile?
Is it you girl, cause ya are so good?

get so confused tryin to remember my lines.
