People say I'm the life of the party Cause I tell a joke or two Although I may 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 havinfun Although she may be cute She's just a substitute cause your the permanent 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 (outside) I'm masquerading (inside) 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
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
