Smokey Robinson, The Miracles — The Tracks of My Tears

[Verse 1] 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 [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 another girl Seeming like I'm having fun Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute Because you're the permanent one [Chorus] So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place Look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears I need you (need you) Need you (need you) (Outside) I'm masquerading (Inside) my hope is fading Just a clown, oh yeah, 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 Yeah, just look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Take a good look at my face Ooh yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place Look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears {outro}
