Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
And although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
[Verse 2]
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, I need you
[Verse 3]
Since you left me, if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
And although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
Baby, you're the permanent one
[Verse 4]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look a little bit closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, yes
I need you, I need you
[Verse 5]
Baby, now, oh, baby, now
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside, you know, you know I'm fading
I'm Just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my break up with you
[Verse 6]
Look at my face
It's easy to trace
Tracks of my tears
I gotta let you know
Can you please take control?
Look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look a little bit closer and it's easy to trace
Tracks of my tears
Tears
