TRACKS OF MY TEARS
William Robinson, Marv Tarplin, Warren Moore
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
So take a good look at my face
You know 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
Looking like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break-up with you
Baby, take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tearsI'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
that's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
when there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
and do all the things I told you
in the midnight hour
I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
and see that twinkle in your eye
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
that's when my love begins to shine
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
and do all the things I told you
in the midnight hour
