Tracks of My Tears (From "Platoon") - The Miracles

People say I’m the life of the party

Because 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’ll 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

Seeming like I’m having fun

Although she may be cute

She’s just a substitute

Because you’re the permanent one.

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.

I need you, need you

Outside I’m masquerading

Inside my hope is fading

Just a clown oh yeah

Since you put me down

My smile is my make up I wear since my break up with you.

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
