Tracks Of My Tears by Aretha Franklin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People say I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Well, although I may be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

[Chorus]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see that my smile seems out of place
And if you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

[Refrain]
I need you, need you

[Verse 2]
Since you left
If you see me with someone else
Acting like I'm having big fun
Well, although he may look fine
He's not a really man
You're the only one
[Chorus]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see that my smile seems out of place
And if you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

[Bridge]
I'm masquerading
My hope is fading
Since you put me down
My smile is my make-up
I wear since my break up with you

[Chorus]
Baby, take just a, one good look at my face
And see that my smile seems out of place
And if you look closer, it's so easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Oh baby, take just one look at my face
You'll see that my smile is out of place
And if you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of those tears
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
One look at my face
You'll see that my smile seems out of place
And if you look closer...
