The Tracks Of My Tears

(album: For Once In My Life: A Celebration Of Motown - 2021)

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

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), 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
If you look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace
Oh, the tracks of my tears
Oh, I need you (need you), need you (need you)

Hey yeah, 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

Baby, take a good look at my face
Oh, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears (baby baby, baby, baby)
So take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my
The tracks of my tears
The tracks of my
The tracks of my tears
The tracks of my tears
