The Tracks of My Tears (album version) Lyrics
Doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two.
Although I might be laughing out loud and hearty,
Deep inside I'm blue.
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. (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I need you. (Need you)
Need you. (Need you)
Since you left me, if you see me with another girl,
Seeming like I'm having fun.
Although she might be cute, she's just a substitute,
'Cause you're the permanent one.
So take a good look at my face.
Uh huh, you see my smile looks out of place.
Yeah, and if you look closer, it's easy to trace,
Ah, the tracks of my tears.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I need you. (Need you)
Need you. (Need you)
Hey, hey, yeah.
Outside, I'm masquerading.
Inside, my hope is fading.
I'm just a clown, ooh yeah, since you put me down.
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you.
Baby, take a good look at my face.
Uh huh, you see my smile looks out of place.
Yeah, just look closer, it's easy to trace,
Ah, the tracks of my tears, baby.
Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face.
Ooh, ooh, yeah, you see my smile looks out of place.
Just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, baby, baby.
Baby, take a good look at my face.
Doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
'Cause I tell a joke or two.
Although I might be laughing out loud and hearty,
Deep inside I'm blue.
You see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears. (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I need you. (Need you)
Need you. (Need you)
Seeming like I'm having fun.
Although she might be cute, she's just a substitute,
'Cause you're the permanent one.
Uh huh, you see my smile looks out of place.
Yeah, and if you look closer, it's easy to trace,
Ah, the tracks of my tears.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I need you. (Need you)
Need you. (Need you)
Outside, I'm masquerading.
Inside, my hope is fading.
I'm just a clown, ooh yeah, since you put me down.
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you.
Uh huh, you see my smile looks out of place.
Yeah, just look closer, it's easy to trace,
Ah, the tracks of my tears, baby.
Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face.
Ooh, ooh, yeah, you see my smile looks out of place.
Just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, baby, baby.
Baby, take a good look at my face.
