People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' 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
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
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)
(Outside) i'm masquerading
(Inside) all my hope is fading
My smile is my make-up
I wear since my break-up with you
Baby, take a good look at my face,
You see my smile looks (out of place)
Yeah, just look closer it's easy (to trace)
Oh, the tracks of my tears
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
