Smokey Robinson Tracks of my Tears Lyrics:
(Doo-doo-doo-doop, doo-doo-doo-doop,)
(Doo-doo-doo-doop, doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo.)

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'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer it's easy to trace,
The tracks of my tears.
(Doo-ooo-ooo-ooo.)

I need you, (need you.)
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 permanent one.
(Doo-doo-doo-doo.)

So take a good look at (my face), oh-oh-ha.
You'll see my smile (looks out of place).
Yeah, look a little bit ((closer and it's easy)) (to trace,)
Aw, the tracks of my tears./(Doo-ooo.)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo.)

Oh-ho-ho-oh.

I need you, (need you.)
Need you, (need you.)

Hey-ay, hey-yeah,
(Outside) I'm masquerading,
(Inside) my hope is fading.
(Just a clown), ooo, yeah,
a-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,)
Oh, ha, you'll see my ((smile looks out of)) (place.)
Yeah, just look ((closer it's easy)) (to trace,)
Aww, the tracks of my tears (tears).

Baby, baby-baby-baby.
Take a good look at (my face.)
Ooo-ooo, yeah, you'll see my smile (looks out of place).
[Fade.]
Look a little bit (closer it's easy to trace,)
Yeah, the tracks of my...
