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) [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jackson_5/tracks_of_my_tears.html ]
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
