[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
Well, I need you (Need you)
Need you (Need you), yeah

[Verse 2]
Since you left me, if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she might be cute, she's just a substitute
You're the permanent one

[Chorus]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of placе
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
Of thе tracks of my tears, yeah, yeah, love
I need you (Need you)
Need you (Need you)
(Need you) Need you
(Need you) Need you
[Bridge]
(Outside) I'm masquerading, yeah
(Inside) My hope is fading
Ooh yeah
My smile is my make up I wear since my break up with you

[Chorus]
Baby, take a good look at my face
Ah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, hey

[Outro]
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
