The Tracks Of My Tears Lyrics

THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS - Johnny Rivers 
(W. Robinson / M. Tarplin / W. Moore)


People say I’m the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or
two.
Although I may be laughin’ loud and hearty,
Deep inside
I’m blue. 

So take a good look at my face. 
You 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 

If you see me with
another girl, 
Actin’ like I’m havin’ fun,
Although
she may be cute, 
She’s just a substitute, 
Girl, you’re
the permanent one. 

Ah, take a good look at my face. 
You see my
smile looks out of place.
Now look closer, it’s easy to trace
The
tracks of my tears.

Outside, I’m masqueradin’
Inside,
my hope is fadin’.
I'm just a clown since you put me down. 
My
smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you.

Baby, baby, take
a good look at my face.
You see my smile looks out of place. 
If you look
closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears. 

Baby, baby,
baby, take a good look at my face. 
You see my smile looks out of place.

Just look closer, it’s easy to trace. 
The tracks of my tears.


Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face. 
My smile looks out
of place. 
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my
tears.
