Smokey Robinson & The Miracles – The Tracks Of My Tears lyrics

Doo, doo, doo, doo. Doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo. Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

People say I'm the life of the party
Because 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'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.)

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,
'Cause you're the permanent one.

So take a good look at my face.
Uh huh. You'll see my smile looks out of place.
Yeah, and if you look closer,
It's easy to trace, aw, the tracks of my tears.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I need you. (Need you.) Need you. (Need you.)

Hey, hey, yeah.
Outside, I'm masquerading.
Inside, my hope is fading.
Just a clown, oooh, yeah, since you put me down.
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you.

Baby, take a good look at my face.
Uh huh. You'll see my smile looks out of place.
Yeah, just look closer,
It's easy to trace, oh, the tracks of my tears, baby.
Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face.
Oooh, yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place.
Yeah, just look closer,
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears, baby, baby.
Oooh, take a good look at my face.
