the tracks of my tears

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
