==========================
unreleased live
(Lou Reed, 1994)
written by Smokey Robinson
Feb 19, 1994
Shrine Auditorium, LA
==========================
People say I'm the life of the party
'cause I tell a joke or two
Although I may be laughing so loud and hearty
oh, deep inside, baby, I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
you know my smile looks out of place
baby, look a little bit, little bit -
- Closer, easy to trace
tracks of my tears
I need you, I need you
Since you left me you've been seem with another guy
seems like you're having fun, hah
Although you may be cute and another pretty face
you're just a substitute
because baby, you know I'm your permanent one
Take a good look at my face
you know my smile looks out of place
hey little bit, of a little bit -
- Closer, it's easy to trace
the tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
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 inside since I broke up with you
Baby, baby
baby-baby-baby
Take a good look at my face
you know my smile looks out of place
just a little bit, little bit -
- Closer, babe, it's easy to trace
the tracks of my tears
