The tracks of my tears lyrics
by Smokey Robinson



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 chase
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
'Cause you're the permanent one

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

Ohoho, I need you (Need you)
Need you (Need you)

Heyey, yeah (I'm sad)
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, take a good look at my face, oho
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah, just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, baby, baby

Baby, take a good look at my face, ooohooo
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace
