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



Chorus



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



Chorus



I need you, need you



(Outside) I'm masquerading

(Inside) my hope is fading

(Just a clown) ooh yeah since you put me down

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



Chorus
