People say I'm the life of the party Cause I tell a joke or two All though I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue Chorus: 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 Oh, I need you (need you), need you Since you left me if you see me with another guy lookin' like I'm havin' fun I know it might be cute, he's just a substitute because.. you're the permanent one go to Chorus (Out-side) I'm masqueradin' (In-side) My heart's a-fadin' (I'm just a clown) since you put me down My smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you Baby take a real good go to Chorus
