Tracks Of My Tears, The

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty, baby
But 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

I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)

Since you left me, and 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

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

I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)
Ooh

Oh, hey-hey, girl
(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, you'll see my smile looks out of place
Ooh, look a little closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears (doo-doo)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Take a good look at my face, ooh yeah
(Smile looks out of place)
Look a little bit closer, and it's easy to trace
Oh, the tracks of my tears

I need you, baby (good look at my face)
My babe, I really love you, ooh
(Smile looks out of place) hey
Oh, look a little bit closer (it's easy to trace)
Yeah, the tracks of my tears
