Smokey Robinson - The Tracks Of My Tears 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

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

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside 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
Yeah you'll see my smile looks out of place
Look little bit closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
