The Jackson 5 - Tracks Of My Tears lyrics

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) Need you (Need you) 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 So take a good look at my face You 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) 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 see my smile looks out of place Look a little bit closer it's easy tot trace The tracks of my tears
