The Tracks Of My Tears Lyrics

THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS - Johnny Rivers
(W. Robinson / M. Tarplin / W. Moore)

People say I�m the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two.
Although I may be laughin� loud and hearty,
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

If you see me with another girl,
Actin� like I�m havin� fun,
Although she may be cute,
She�s just a substitute,
Girl, you�re the permanent one.

Ah, take a good look at my face.
You see my smile looks out of place.
Now look closer, it�s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.

Outside, I�m masqueradin�
Inside, my hope is fadin�.
I'm just a clown since you put me down.
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you.

Baby, baby, 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.

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face.
You see my smile looks out of place.
Just look closer, it�s easy to trace.
The tracks of my tears.

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face.
My smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it�s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.
