People say I`m the life of the party
`Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin` 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
Ho-oh-oh-oh
I need you (need you), need you (need you)

Since you left me, if you see me with another guy
Lookin` like I`m havin` 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
oh-oh-oh-ho

(outside) I`m masqueradin`
(inside) My hope`s fadin`
(I`m just a clown) since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup 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

Whoa-oh-oh! 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
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
