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 masquerading
 Inside, my heart is fading
 I'm just a clown
 Since you put me down
 My smile is my makeup
 I wear since my breakup 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
