People say I'm the life of the party
Beause I tell a joke or two
Well although I may be laughin' loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You see that my smile seems out of place
And if you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you, need you

Since you left, if you see me with someone else
Actin' like I'm havin' big fun
Well although he may look fine
He's not really mine
You're the only one

So take a good look at my face
You see that my smile seems out of place
And if you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I'm masquerading
My heart is fading
Since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my breakup with you

Baby, take just a one good look at my face
And see that my smile seems out of place
And if you look closer it's so easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Oh, baby, take just one look at my face
You see that my smile is out of place
And if you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of most tears

Oh oh, one look at my face
You see that my smile seems out of place
And if you look closer it's easy to trace
