Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 trace
The tracks of my tears, ew
[Verse 3]
I need you, need you
[Verse 4]
Since you left me, if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having some fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
[Verse 5]
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 trace
The tracks of my tears
[Verse 6]
I need you, I need you
Yeah, yeah
I need you, I need you
Outside I'm masquerading, inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown, just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you
[Verse 7]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
[Verse 8]
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah, if you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
The tracks of my tears
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, ew
