Now, people say I'm the life of the party
'cause I'll tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty
Deep down inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you'll look closer
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
But since you left me if you see me with another guy
Seemin' like I'm havin' fun
He might look good it's true
But he's a substitute 'cause you were the perfect one
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears
I need you, I need you
Outside I'm masqueradin'
'cause inside my hope is fading
Like a clown since you put me down
And my smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears
Oh, just take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears
