Smokey Robinson
The Tracks of My Tears
[Verse 1]
Now, people say I'm the life of the party
Cause I'll tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep down inside I'm blue

[Chorus]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you'll look closer
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears

I need you, need you

[Verse 2]
But since you left me if you see me with another guy
Seeming like I'm having fun
He might look good it's true
But he's a substitute 'cause you were the perfect one

[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
I need you, I need you

[Bridge]
Outside I'm masquerading
'Cause inside my hope is fading
Like a clown since you put me down
And my smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you

[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

[Chorus]
Oh, just 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
