  People say I'm the life of the party cos 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

  If you look closer it's easy to trace, the tracks of my tears

  Since you left me if you see me with another girl

  Seeming like I'm having fun

  Although she may be cute she's just a substitute you're the permanent one

  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

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

  Baby 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

  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
