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
If you look closer it's easy to trace
the tracks of my tears
I need you, I need you, yeah
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
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
Chorus:
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
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
