Lyrics The Tracks Of My Tears - Smokey Robinson , The Miracles

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I 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
Need you, need you

Since you left me, 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 little bit closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)

Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is fading
Just a clown, ooh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my break-up with you

Baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile, looks out of place
Yeah, just a closer, it's easy to trace
Oh, the tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile, looks out of place
You look little bit closer, it's easy to trace
Yeah, the tracks of my tears
