People say
I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing out
Loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You'll see the smile
Looks out of place
If you look closer
It's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you
Need you

Since you left me
If you see me with another girl
Seemin' 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
You'll see my smile
Looks out of place
Look even closer
It's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you
Need you

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

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
