It is a reference to how clowns have that painted on smile that is visible to everyone. It means that you are hiding what you are feeling under a painted on smile, pretending that you're okay when you really want to run away and cry somewhere.
The line was made famous in the late 50's in a song called "The Great Pretender" performed by The Platters. Listen to the song it twill explain it all...

i think that it means the person is so head over heals in love that everyone can see it. He feels that he looks looks like a clown by being so overt about his feelings, but he doesnt really care because the person he is courting is worth looking silly for

I think it means that you are showing your feelings of love for everybody to see and you don't mind "showing off" your feelings.

i'd guess that you've left yourself happily available or you're happily giving but you're being made a mockery of by the would be recipient's actions.
why?
