recorded by Linda Ronstadt written by Smokey Robinson TRACKS OF MY TEARS intro riff x 2 (notes:-----; -----a) Verse 1: People say I'm the life of the party (d--- walk down lick) 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 (need you) Verse 2: Since you left me if you see me with another guy lookin' like I'm havin' fun Although he might be cute, he's just a substitute because...you're the permanent one Bridge: - - (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 repeat Chorus
