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
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
I need you, need you
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
Look closer, it's easy to trace
I need you, need you
Need you, need you
BIIM And Wanya
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
... smile looks out of place
... closer, it's easy to trace
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
