The Tracks Of My Tears - Gladys Knight & The Pips

People say I’m the life of the party

'Cause I tell a joke or two, ha

Although I may be laughing loud and hearty

Baby, don’t you know, deep inside I’m blue

So take a good look (Good look, look at my face)

Don’t you know that my smile

(My smile sho’nuff out of place)

Just a little bit closer, baby

(Closer, easy to trace)

The tracks of my tears (Tears), baby

(Tears) Baby, baby, baby

(Need you), I need you, (need you), ooh

Since you left me if you see me with another guy

Seeming like I’m having fun

Although he might be cute

He’s just a substitute

'Cause, baby, you’re the only one

So take a good look (Good look, look at my face)

Can’t you see that my smile, yes it is, it’s out of place

(My smile, sho’nuff out of place)

Just a little bit closer, it’s easy to trace

(Closer, easy to trace)

The tracks of my tears (Tears), baby

(Tears) Baby, baby, baby

I need you, (Need you), need you, baby (need you)

Whoa-oh-oh-whoa (Whoa-oh-oh-whoa)

Oh yeah (Oh yeah)

(Outside) Outside I’m masquerading

(Inside) Inside my hope is fading

(I'm just a clown) I’m 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 (Good look, look at my face)

Can’t you see that my smile, oh, yes it is

(My smile, sho’nuff out of place)

Just a little bit closer, it’s easy to trace

(Closer, easy to trace)

The tracks of my tears (Tears), baby

(Tears) Baby, baby, baby

Take a look, take a look

(Take a look, take a good look, look at my face)

Don’t you know that my smile

(Take a look, take a good look, it’s out of place)

Just a little bit

(Take a look, take a good look, easy to trace)

You’ll see the tracks of my tears (Tears), baby

(Tears) Baby, baby, baby

Take a look, take a look

(Take a look, take a good look, look at my face)

Baby, baby, you’ll see my smile
