People say I'm the life of the party 'cause I tell a joke or two,
although I might be a-laughing loud and hearty deep inside I'm 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.

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.
So take a good look at my face oh, you'll see my smile looks out of place.
A-look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.
Oh I need you

Hey hey yeah (Outside) I'm masquerading
(Inside) my hope is fading; a
(Just a clown) oo yeah a 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'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.
