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
{ From: http://www.elyrics.net }
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.
