A little bit of soap will wash away your lipstick on my face
A little bit of soap will never, never never ever erase
A pain in my heart, in my eyes
As I go through the lonely years
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
A little bit of soap will take away your powder from my chin
A little bit of soap will never, never never ever begin
To take away the hurt that I feel
As I go through the lonely years

A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
Have you heard when love begins to die
And he isn't one to cry
Night and day
Like a bird, you left the robin's nest
And you're just like all the rest
You flew away
Ooh a little bit of soap will take away your perfume eventually
A little bit of soap will never wash away the memory
Of your name, in the night

That I call through the lonely years
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
No I'll never lose the memory of your name
In the night, that I call through the lonely years
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
Mmmm it's never never never never gonna wash away my tears
Mmmm never wash away my tears
