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.lyricsfreak.com/j/jackson+5/tracks+of+my+tears_20816913.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
