Lyrics

People say I'm the life of the party Because I tell a joke or two Well, although I may be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You'll see that my smile seems out of place And if you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears I need you, need you Since you left, if you see me with someone else Acting like I'm having big fun Well, although he may look fine He's not a really man, you're the only one So take a good look at my face You'll see that my smile seems out of place And if you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears I'm masquerading, my hope is fading Since you put me down My smile is my make-up I wear since my break up with you Baby, take just one good look at my face You'll see that my smile seems out of place And if you look closer, it's all easy to trace The tracks of my tears Oh baby, take just one good look at my face You'll see that my smile is out of place And if you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of those tears, oh, oh Oh, look at my face You'll see that my smile seems out of place And if you look closer...
