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 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

Since you left me if you see me with another guy
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although he might be cute, he'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
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

Outside I'm masquerading, inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown, just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you

Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, the tracks of my tears
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
