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
