The Tracks Of My Tears
(Too-doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo-doo)
(Too-doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo-doo-doo)
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue (doo-doo-doo-doo)
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)
Since you left me, if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one (doo-doo-doo-doo)
So take a good look at my face, oh-oh-oh
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah, look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Oh-oh-oh, I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)
Yeah-hey
(Outside) I'm masquerading
(Inside) my hope is fading
(Just a frown) ooh yeah, since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my break-up with you
Baby, take a good look at my face
Oh-oh, you'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah, just look closer, it's easy to trace
Oh, the tracks of my tears, baby (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Baby, baby, baby
Take a good look at my face, ooh yeah
You'll see my smile (smile looks out of place)
You look a little bit closer (closer, it's easy to trace)
Yeah, the tracks of my tears, oh yeah (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Baby, take a good look at my face
(Too-doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo-doo-doo)
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue (doo-doo-doo-doo)
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)
Since you left me, if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one (doo-doo-doo-doo)
So take a good look at my face, oh-oh-oh
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah, look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace

Baby, baby, baby

You look a little bit closer (closer, it's easy to trace)
Yeah, the tracks of my tears, oh yeah (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Baby, take a good look at my face
