People say I'm the life of the party

'cause I tell a joke or two

Although I may be laughin' loud and hearty

Deep inside I'm blue



So take a good look at my face

You 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



If you see me with another girl

Actin' like I'm havin' fun

Although she may be cute

She's just a substitute

Girl you're the permanent one



Ah, take a good look at my face

You see my smile looks out of place

Now look closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears



Outside, I'm masquerading

Inside, my heart is fading

I'm just a clown

Since you put me down

My smile is my makeup

I wear since my breakup with you



Baby, baby, take a good look at my face

You see my smile looks out of place

If you look closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears



Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face

You see my smile looks out of place

Just look closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears



Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face

My smile looks out of place

If you look closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears
