Lyrics

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, need you I 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 permanent one So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place Yeah, look a little bit closer and it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears I need you, need you I need you, need you Oh baby now Outside I'm masquerading (I'm masquerading) Inside my hope is fading (my hope is fading) Just a clown ooh yeah since you put me down My smile is my make up 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 Yeah just look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears baby, baby baby baby Take a good look at my face Take a good look at my face Yeah you'll see my smile looks out of place Look little bit closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears One more time Take a good look at my face Yeah you'll see my smile looks out of place Look little bit closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears
