Smokey Robinson, Motown
The Tracks of My Tears
Smokey Robinson, Motown
People say I’m the life of the party
Cause 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 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
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
Chorus
Outside, I’m masquerading
Inside, my heart is fading
I’m just a clown
Ooh yeah, since you put me down
My smile is my make-up
I wear since my break-up with you
Chorus (Baby, baby, baby) x2
