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 know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it`s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Oh I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another guy
Looking like I`m having fun
Although he might be cute he`s just a substitute
Because you`re the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it`s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Outside I`m masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
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 take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it`s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Woah baby take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it`s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
