[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
And if you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you
I need you, yeah

[Verse 2]
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 permanent one

[Chorus]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
And if you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you
I need you
[Verse 3]
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown, yeah, since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my breakup with you
Oh yeah
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

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