Lyrics to Tracks Of My Tears

Lyrics to the song Tracks Of My Tears as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

(Robinson/Arplin/Moore)

People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You 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
Seemin' like I'm havin' fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the only one

So take a good look at my face
You 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
I'm masquerading
My hope is fading
Since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my breakup with you

Baby take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

So take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
