A little bit of soap will wash Away her lipstick on your face A little bit of soap will never Never, ever, ever erase The pain in my heart and my eyes As I go through the lonely years A little bit of soap will never Wash away my tears Mmm, a little bit of soap will wash Away her powder on your chin A little bit of soap will never Never, ever, 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 It leaves someone to cry Night and day Just like a bird Who left the warmest nest He's just like all the rest You flew away Yeah, a little bit of soap will Take away her perfume eventually A little bit of soap will never Take 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 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 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
