People say I'm the life of the party

'Cause I tell a joke or two

Although I may be laughin' loud and hearty

Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face

You see 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

If you see me with another girl

Actin' like I'm havin' fun

Although she may be cute

She's just a substitute

Girl, you're the permanent one

Ah, take a good look at my face

You see my smile looks out of place

Now look closer, it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears

Outside, I'm masqueradin'

Inside, my hope is fadin'

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, baby, take a good look at my face

You see my smile looks out of place

If you look closer, it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face

You see my smile looks out of place

Just look closer, it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face

My smile looks out of place

If you look closer, it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears
