People say I'm the life of the party   'Cause I make a joke or two   Although I might be laughing loud and hearty   Deep inside I am 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 somebody else   Seems like I'm having fun   Although they might be cute   There's no substitute   'Cause you're the only 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 my hope is fading   Just a clown   Since you put me down   My smile is my make up    I wear since my break up with you      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      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
