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



[chorus:]

So take a good look at my face

You'll see my smile looks out of place

Just 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

'cause you're the permanent one



[chorus]



Outside, i'm masquerading

Inside, my hope is fading

Just a clown, oh yeah since you put me down

My smile is my make-up i wear since my break-up with you



[chorus]
