Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's the tracks of my tears
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause, I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing out loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
[Verse 2]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see the smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I need you, need you
Need you, need you
[Verse 3]
Since you left me, if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
[Verse 4]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see the smile looks out of place
Look even closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
[Verse 5]
I need you, need you
Need you, need you
Ooh
Oh-whoa, ooh
[Verse 6]
I'm sad
Uh, I'm masquerading
Inside
My hope is fading
Just a clown
Ooh yeah, since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you
[Verse 7]
So take a good look at my face
Oh, take a good look, baby
You see my smile looks out of place
It looks so out of place
See closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
[Verse 8]
Oh, so take a good look at my face
You see the smile looks out of place
Closer, it's easy to trace
Tracks of my tears
[Verse 9]
Oh, look at me baby, I'm crying
Oh, my heart is slowly dying
Whoa, whoa-ooh
