Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh...

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might 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, I need you

Since you left me
If you see me with another guy
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although he may be cute
He's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one


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
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, hey, yeah

Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is a-fading
Just a clown, ooh, yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my breakup
With you, baby, mm-hmm

La-la-la...

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Look a bit closer, it is easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it is easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks way out of place
If you look closer, it is easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, oh, baby

Here I am, everybody's gone
And I'm alone again just thinking of you
