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
Just 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
'cause you're the permanent one

[chorus]

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 i wear since my break-up with you

[chorus]
