Words and Music by Bert Berns
Performed by Nigel Ollson

A little bit of soap
will wash away your lipstick
from my face
A little bit of soap
will never never never ever erase the pain in my heart and my eyes as I go thro
through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
will never wash away my tears....

Just a little bit of soap will take away your powder from my chin
A little bit of soap
will never never never ever begin to take away the hurt that I feel as I go
through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
will never wash away my tears

Now have you heard when love begins to die it leaves someone to cry night and
day
Just like the bird who left the robin's nest you're just like all the rest
You flew away

Just a little bit of soap
will take away your perfume eventually
A little bit of soap
will never take away the memory
of your name in the night
as I go through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
will never wash away my tears...
