Nobody covers a song like Johnny. This is the best arrangement and performance of this song. It is better than Linda Ronstadts version and I love it it too. Darlene Love and the Blossoms added their special touch but it is Johnny's volcal that makes it.
People say I'm the life of the party Cause i tell a joke or two Although i may be laughing loud and hardy 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, its easy to trace The tracks of my tears... I need you, need you... If you see me with another girl Acting like I'm having fun Although she may be cute She's just a substitute Girl, you're the permanent one... Oh, take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place Now look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears... Outside, I'm masquerading... Inside, my hope is fading... I'm just a clown, since you put me down My smile is my make-up I wear Since my break-up with you... Baby, baby 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... Take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place Just look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears... Baby, baby, baby Take a good look at this face My smile looks out of place..
