A little bit of soap will wash away your lipstick on my face, A little bit of soap will never, never never ever erase, A pain in my heart, in my eyes, As I go through the lonely years, A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears. A little bit of soap will take 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. Have you heard when love begins to die, And he isn't one to cry, Night and day. Like a bird, you left the robin's nest, And you're just like all the rest, You flew away. Ooh a little bit of soap will take away your perfume eventually, 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. No 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, A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears, Mmmm it's never never never never gonna wash away my tears, Mmmm never wash away my tears.
