The Tracks of My Tears

The Tracks of My Tears
Smokey Robinson, Motown


     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
     Just look closer, it's easy to trace
     The tracks of my tears
     I 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
     'Cause you're the permanent one

     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

     Chorus
