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
Just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is fading
Just a clown, since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you
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
"what if a person had cried so much,
until if u got really closer to them and looked them to their faces,
u can see that their tears have left tracks on their faces"
Smokey Robinson
