The Tracks of My Tears
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two, ha
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Baby, don't you know, deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look (Good look, look at my face)
Don't you know that my smile
(My smile sho'nuff out of place)
Just a little bit closer, baby
(Closer, easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears (Tears), baby
(Tears) Baby, baby, baby
(Need you), I need you, (need you), ooh
Since you left me if you see me with another guy
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although he might be cute
He's just a substitute
'Cause, baby, you're the only one
So take a good look
(Good look, look at my face)
Can't you see that my smile, yes it is,
it's out of place (My smile, sho'nuff out of place)
Just a little bit closer, it's easy to trace (Closer, easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears (Tears), baby
(Tears) Baby, baby, baby
I need you, (Need you), need you, baby (need you)
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa (Whoa-oh-oh-whoa)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
(Outside) Outside I'm masquerading
(Inside) Inside my hope is fading
(I'm just a clown) I'm just a clown
Since you put me down
My smile is my make-up
I wear since my break up with you
Baby, take a good look (Good look, look at my face)
Can't you see that my smile, oh, yes it is
(My smile, sho'nuff out of place)
Just a little bit closer, it's easy to trace (Closer, easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears (Tears), baby
(Tears) Baby, baby, baby
Take a look, take a look
(Take a look, take a good look, look at my face)
Don't you know that my smile
(Take a look, take a good look, it's out of place)
Just a little bit
(Take a look, take a good look, easy to trace)
You'll see the tracks of my tears (Tears), baby
(Tears) Baby, baby, baby
Take a look,
take a look (Take a look, take a good look, look at my face)
Don't you know that my smile...
'Cause I tell a joke or two, ha
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Baby, don't you know, deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look (Good look, look at my face)
Don't you know that my smile
(My smile sho'nuff out of place)
Just a little bit closer, baby
(Closer, easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears (Tears), baby
(Tears) Baby, baby, baby
(Need you), I need you, (need you), ooh
Since you left me if you see me with another guy
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although he might be cute
He's just a substitute
'Cause, baby, you're the only one
So take a good look
(Good look, look at my face)
Can't you see that my smile, yes it is,
it's out of place (My smile, sho'nuff out of place)
Just a little bit closer, it's easy to trace (Closer, easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears (Tears), baby
(Tears) Baby, baby, baby
I need you, (Need you), need you, baby (need you)
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa (Whoa-oh-oh-whoa)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
(Outside) Outside I'm masquerading
(Inside) Inside my hope is fading
(I'm just a clown) I'm just a clown

Just a little bit closer, it's easy to trace (Closer, easy to trace)
The tracks of my tears (Tears), baby
(Tears) Baby, baby, baby
Take a look, take a look

(Take a look, take a good look, it's out of place)
Just a little bit
(Take a look, take a good look, easy to trace)
You'll see the tracks of my tears (Tears), baby
(Tears) Baby, baby, baby
Take a look,
take a look (Take a look, take a good look, look at my face)
Don't you know that my smile...
