People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' 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
Ho-oh-oh-oh
I need you (need you), need you (need you)
Since you left me, if you see me with another guy
Lookin' like I'm havin' fun
Although he might be cute, he's just a substitute
Because 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
oh-oh-oh-ho
(outside) I'm masqueradin'
(inside) My hope's fadin'
(I'm just a clown) since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup 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
Whoa-oh-oh! 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
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
