(Intro, 4 slow measures)
People say I'm the life of the party 'cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hardy, 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
Since you left me, if you see me with another girl, seeming like I'm having some 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
Ooh, 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, I need you) yeah, (yeah) yeah
(I need you) I need you
(Outside) I'm masquerading
(Inside) my hope is fading
(Just a clown) just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my make-up, I wear since my break up with you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place (yeah)
If you look closer it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah you'll see my smile looks out of place (yeah)
If you look closer it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears...
The tracks of my tears...
If you look closer it's easy to trace...
The tracks of my tears.
