Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I need you (Need you)
Need you (Need you)
[Verse 4]
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
Because you're the permanent one
[Verse 5]
So take a good look at my face, oh
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
[Verse 6]
Oh, I need you (Need you)
Need you (Need you)
Hey, yeah
[Verse 7]
(Outside) I'm masquerading
(Inside) my hope is fading
(Just a clown) Ooh yeah, since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you
[Verse 8]
Baby, take a good look at my (Face)
Oh, you'll see my smile looks out of (Place)
Yeah, just look closer and it's easy (To trace)
Oh, the tracks of my tears
[Verse 9]
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Take a good look at (My face)
Ooh yeah you'll see my smile (Looks out of place)
Look a little bit closer (It's easy to trace), yeah
