People say I'm the life of the party 'cause I tell a joke or two Although they might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue 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, need you If you see me with another girl Seeming like I'm having fun Although she may be cute She's just a substitute Because you're the permanent 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, need you Outside I'm masquerading Inside my hope is fading Just a clown oh yeah Since you put me down My smile is my make up I wear since my break up with you... Baby, baby, baby 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
