Smokey Robinson
The Tracks of My Tears
[Intro]
(Do, doo-do)
Mm
(Do, doo-do)
Yeah-yeah
(Do, doo-do)
Da, dah-dum
(Doo-do, do-do)

[Verse 1]
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cos I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing
Loud and hearty (oh yeah)
Deep inside I'm blue

[Chorus]
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
(Doo-do)
(Doo-do, do-do)

Yeah, I need you
(I need you)
Need you
(I need you)
[Verse 2]
Since you left me, if you see me with another guy
Seeming like I'm having fun (mm, yeah)
Although he may be cute (do, doo-do)
He's just a substitute (do, doo-do)
Because you're the permanent onе (do, doo-do)
(Doo-do, do-do)

[Chorus]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of placе
Won't you look a little bit closer, and it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears (doo-do)
(Doo-do, do-do)

I need you (oh baby!)
(I need you)
Need you
(I need you)

[Bridge]
Hah!
Ay-yeah
Oh-oh, yay-yeah

(Outside) I'm masquerading
(Inside) my hope is fading
Just a clown, oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you!
So, take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Oh, won't you look a little bit closer, and it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears (doo-do)
(Doo-do, do-do)
Oh!

So, take a good look at my face (oh yay-yeah)
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Oh, won't you look a little bit closer, and it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears (doo-do)
(Doo-do, do-do)
Oh yeah

[Outro]
Oh-ah-ah, I need you
(Take a good look at my face)
Oh, baby – yes, I need you
(My smile looks out of place)
Oh, come on, come on
If you look closer (need you!)
(It's easy to trace)
You'll see the tracks of my tears
(Doo-do)
(Doo-do, do-do)
