The Tracks Of My Tears Lyrics

by Johnny Rivers

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two.
Although I may be laughin' loud and hearty,
Deep inside I'm blue.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e91384-johnny_rivers~the_tracks_of_my_tears_lyrics.html ]
So take a good look at my face.
You 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

If you see me with another girl,
Actin' like I'm havin' fun,
Although she may be cute,
She's just a substitute,
Girl, you're the permanent one.

Ah, take a good look at my face.
You see my smile looks out of place.
Now look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.

Outside, I'm masqueradin'
Inside, my hope is fadin'.
I'm just a clown since you put me down.
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you.

Baby, baby, take a good look at my face.
You see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face.
You see my smile looks out of place.
Just look closer, it's easy to trace.
The tracks of my tears.

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face.
My smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.
