(written by and first released by Smokey Robinson)



People say I'm the life of the party

Cause I tell a joke or two

And though I might be laughing at (?) the party

Deep inside I'm blue



Chorus

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 chase

The tracks of my tears



I need you (Need you)

Need you (Need you)



Since you left me have you seen me with another girl

Look like I'm having fun

And though she might be cute she's just a substitute

Because you're the permanent one



Chorus



I need you (Need you)

Need you (Need you)

(I'm sorry) I'm masquerading

(I'm sorry) My hope is fading

(I'm just a fool) Ooh yeah since you put me down

My smile is all made up

My word (?) since my break up with you



Baby take a good look at my face

And you'll see my smile looks out of place

If you look closer it's easy to chase

The tracks of my tears
