The Tracks Of My Tears (Live)
-----------------------------
(written by and first released by Smokey Robinson)

People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
And though I might be laughing at (?) the party
Deep inside I'm blue

[Chorus]
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 chase
The tracks of my tears

I need you (Need you)
Need you (Need you)

Since you left me have you seen me with another girl
Look like I'm having fun
And though she might be cute she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one

[Chorus]

I need you (Need you)
Need you (Need you)
(I'm sorry) I'm masquerading
(I'm sorry) My hope is fading
(I'm just a fool) Ooh yeah since you put me down
My smile is all made up
My word (?) since my break up with you

Baby take a good look at my face
And you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to chase
The tracks of my tears
