The Track Of My Tears Lyrics - Bryan Ferry

People say I'm the life of the party 

Because 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, 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 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 

I need you, need you 

Outside I'm masquerading 

Inside my hope is fading 

Just a clown oh yeah 

Since you put me down 

My smile is my make up
