'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
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

Chorus

I need you, need you

(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

Chorus
