TRACKS OF MY TEARS

William Robinson, Marv Tarplin, Warren Moore



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 know 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

Looking like I'm having fun

Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute

'Cause you're the permanent one



So take a good look at my face

You know my smile looks out of place

If you look closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears



Outside I'm masquerading

Inside my hope is fading

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 at my face

You know my smile looks out of place

If you look closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears
