[Verse 1]
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I make a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

[Chorus]
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
I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)

[Verse 2]
Since you left me, if you see me with somebody else
Seeming like I'm having fun, yeah
Although they might be cute, there's just no substitute
Because you're the only permanent one

[Chorus]
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
I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)
[Bridge]
(Outside) Outside, I'm masquerading
(Inside) Inside, my hope is fading
(Just a clown) Just a clown, oh yeah, since you put me down
My smile is my make up I wear since my break up with you

[Chorus]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah, 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
