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 know 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 

Since you left me if you see me with another girl 
Looking 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 
You know my smile looks out of place 
If you look closer it's easy to trace 
The tracks of my tears 

Outside I'm masquerading 
Inside my hope is fading 
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, take a good look at my face 
You know my smile looks out of place 
If you look closer it's easy to trace 
The tracks of my tears
