Smokey Robinson
The Tracks of My Tears (Live at the Royal Albert Hall, 1974)
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I may be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
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, need you
(Need you, need you)
Since you left me
If you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the only one
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
(need you, need you)
(outside)
I'm masquerading
(inside)
My hope is fading
Oh yeah, since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my break-up with you
Baby 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
