Don't Pretend You're Happy

What's that in your eye 
something's got you down 
swear it was a tear 
from a crying clown 

You can talk to me 
I can sit and listen 
offer sympathy 
and not take a position 

Cry if you want to 
don't just smile for me 
tell me how you're feeling 
don't pretend you're happy 

When you're by yourself 
little things get heavy 
you could use some help 
with the load you carry 

When it's all a little much 
an you haven't got a crutch to lean on 
you can turn to me and say 
I've had a lousy day
