Tracks of my Tears


    ©Smokey Robinson


    People say I'm the life of the party 'cause I tell a joke or two
    Although I may 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

    Since you left me if you see me with another guy
    Looking like I'm having fun
    Although he may be cute he's just a substitute
    Because you're the permanent one

    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

    Outside I'm masquerading
    Inside my hope is fading
    I'm just a clown since you put me down
    My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you

    Baby, 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
    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
