A little bit of soap will wash away your lipstick on my face But a little bit of soap will never never never ever erase The pain in my heart and my eyes as I go through the lonely years A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears Mmm, a little bit of soap will wash away your powder from my chin A little bit of soap will never never never ever begin To take away the hurt that I feel as I go through the lonely years A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears, mmm, mmm, mmm Have you heard when love begins to die it leaves someone to cry night and Day? Like a bird, you left your robin's nest and-a just like all the rest you flew away Mmm, a little bit of soap will take away your perfume eventually But a little bit of soap will never wash away the memory Of your name in the night that I call through the lonely years A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears I'll never lose the memory of your name in the night that I call through the lonely years A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears Mmm, a little bit of soap-a will never wash away my tears Mmm, it's gonna never, never, never, uh-huh, wash away my tears
