the tracks of my tears

Singer: billy bragg

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'll see my smile looks out of place

if you look closer it's easy to trace

the tracks of my tears

i need you

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 on&101

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

i need you

hey

hey

yeah

outside i'm masquerading

inside my hope is fading

i'm just a clown

yeah

oh

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'll see my smile looks out of place

if you look closer it's easy to trace

the tracks of my tears

baby

baby

baby

baby

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
