The Tracks of My Tears Songtext
von 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 laughin′ 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)
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 (My smile, is sho′nuff out of place)
Just a little bit closer (Closer), it's easy to trace (Easy to trace)
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 makeup I wear since my breakup with you


Baby, take a good look (Good look, look at my face)
Can't you see that my smile (My smile, is sho′nuff out of place)
Just a little bit closer (Closer), it's easy to trace (Easy to trace)
Tracks of my tears (Tears), baby (Tears), baby, baby, baby
Take a look, take a look
(Take a good 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 closer (Closer)
(Take a look, take a good look, look at my face)
Just a little bit closer (Closer)
(Take a look, take a good look, it′s out of place)
