The Actor Songtext
von The Dovells

They call me the lover, the greatest in town
The one I really love keeps puttin′ me down
They call me the lover, oh, they'll never discover
I′m only a clown

Yes, I'm the actor, acting out a part
A smile on my face and a tear in my heart
Puttin' on a show, everywhere I go
I′m the actor


I′m joking and singing when I'm with the crowd
And when they mention her, oh, I′m laughing out loud
And I keep on lying, oh, they won't see me crying
′Cause I'm too proud

Yes, I′m the actor, acting out a part
A smile on my face and a tear in my heart
Puttin' on a show, what a lie, everywhere I go
I'm the actor

Yes, I′m the actor, ′cause I love her so
