The Tracks of My Tears Songtext

von Smokey Robinson

(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do, do do do do)

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' loud and hardy
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You 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
Seemin' like I'm havin' 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, uh-huh
You see my smile (looks out of place)
Yeah, look a little bit closer
It's easy to trace, oh the tracks of my tears

Oh-ho-ho-ho I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)

Hey hey -yeah
(Outside) a masquerading
(Inside) my hope is fading
(Just a clown) ooo-yeah, since you put me down
My smile is my make-up
I wear isnce my break-up with you

Baby, take a good look at my face, uh-huh
You see my smile looks (out of place)
Yeah, just look closer it's easy (to trace)
Oh, the tracks of my tears

Baby, baby, baby, baby
Take a good look at (my face)
Ooo, yeah you see my smile (looks out of place)
Look a little bit closer (it's easy to trace)
Yeah, the tracks of my tears, oh yeah
FADES-
Baby, take a good look
