People say I'm the life of the party '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 see the smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears I need you need you seens you're lett me If you see me with another girl Actin' like I'm havin' fun Although she may be cute She's just a substitute Girl you're the permanent one Ah take a good look at my face You see my smile looks out of place Now look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Outside I'm masquerading Inside my heart is fading I'm just a clown Since you put me down My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you 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 so take a good look at my face You see the smile looks out of place Just look closer it's easy to trace my tears The tracks of my tears look at me baby I'm crying
