The Tracks of My Tears (Stripped Mix)

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

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

So take a good (look at my face), oh-oh
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Oh, l look a little bit closer (it's easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears, oh-oh-oh

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

Hey-hey, yeah
(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
Yeah, just look closer (it's easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears (doo-doo)
Yeah, one more time

Take a good look at my face, ooh yeah
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Baby, look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, I've been crying for years

Come on and take a good (look at my face)
Baby, baby, baby, you'll see (smile looks out of place)
Yeah, look a little bit closer, yeah (closer, it's easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears, ooh yeah, yeah-yeah

Take a good look at my face, ooh yeah
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Baby, look a little bit closer (closer, it's easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears, I've been crying for years

Come on and take a good (look at my face)
Baby, baby, baby, you'll see (smile looks out of place)
Yeah, look a little bit closer, huh (closer, it's easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears, ooh yeah, yeah-yeah
