People say I'm the life of the part 'Cause I tell a joke or two Although I may be laughin' 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
Since you left me If you see me with another girl Seemin' like I'm havin' fun Although she may be cute She's just a substitute Because you're the only one
So take a good look at my face You 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; m masquerading My hope is fading Oh yeah, since you put me down My smile is my makeup 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 If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears
