The Tracks of My Tears
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
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
When you're gone if you see me with another girl
Acting like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
You're the permanent one
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
Outside (I'm masquerading)
Outside (my hope is fading)
Outside (since you put me down)
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my break up with you, my baby
People say I'm the life of the party
I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue (no, baby, no, no)
Since you're gone if you see me with another girl
Acting like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
You're the permanent one (you're the permanent one)
People say I'm the life of the party (ooh)
I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty (I'm masqueradin')
Deep inside I'm blue (my hope is fading)
Since you're gone if you see me with another girl
Acting like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
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
When you're gone if you see me with another girl
Acting like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
You're the permanent one
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
Outside (I'm masquerading)
Outside (my hope is fading)
Outside (since you put me down)
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my break up with you, my baby
People say I'm the life of the party
I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue (no, baby, no, no)
Since you're gone if you see me with another girl
Acting like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
You're the permanent one (you're the permanent one)
People say I'm the life of the party (ooh)
I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty (I'm masqueradin')
Deep inside I'm blue (my hope is fading)
Since you're gone if you see me with another girl
Acting like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
