Johnny Rivers - Tracks Of My Tears Lyrics






People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two.
Although I may be laughing loud and hearty,
Deep inside I'm blue.

So take a good look at my face.
You see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it's 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.

Ah, take a good look at my face.
You 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 see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face.
You 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.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.

    Awesome yrs of music Ty Johnny

  24. T.... M....

    😭😭😭 linda música gosto das músicas do Jonny Rivers

  25. O.... ....

    Instead of complaining about the Rock Hall here, why not log on Twitter and send them a tweet, demanding Johnny Rivers get at the very least... a nomination. These incompetent jack asses have been passing him over for years for the likes of terrible music acts like ''DEVO.'' Yes, DEVO got nominated before Johnny Rivers.


    So, send them a tweet @Rockhall - and show your support to Johnny Rivers... and maybe even Johnny Maestro, Pat Boone, Connie Francis... all whom belong in the hall of fame. Don't just show your support here on youtube.

  26. D.... H....

    I don't care who records this song. This version is and Always will be the BEST. Johnny's voice haunts my childhood memories. Still gives me a lump in my throat and a single tear in my eye. God what a great time to be young. Love this song, and all his songs, just great stuff.

    D.... H....

    Whoa, not the best. Get real. This Is Smokey’s song, one of his best. Linda Ronstadt covers this best. Johnny Rivers is nice but not in the class of SR and Linda.

  27. A.... W....

    Still Here

  28. C.... Q....

    I wonder if The Blossoms sang backup on this, too?

  29. M.... C....

    Beautiful! Awesome!...

  30. S.... ....

    Get this talented man in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame quick. This is ridiculous.

  31. R.... R....

    I like Johny's version than the original, Smokey Robinson. For me the best song of Johnny is Tunesmith

  32. T.... N....

    Saab in the Hartford Civic Center I think it was the late part of the 80s mind-blowing wdrc radio cup play in the live cut over and over again rendition you'll ever hear

  33. E.... C....

    I need you😢

    E.... C....

    No i need you

    E.... C....

    @Youngstown1956 who are you?

  34. M.... N....

    One of the greatest albums ever recorded . "Rewind" is so amazing!

  35. S.... D....

    A very talented man love all his music I think he’s wonderful

  36. l.... m....

    But I am doing what I am to do n my destiny ur not part of mine...o well next like u say.

  37. S.... S....

    AMO ELE , E TUDO QUE ELE CANTA!

  38. C.... P....

    OH JOhnny..... you make my day

    C.... P....

    I thought you said I did...

  39. M.... M....

    Very songs Johnny

  40. m.... s....

    🇧🇷 música linda grande Jonny onde chega em qualquer parte do planeta impõe respeito com suas bonitas e excelentes canções. 19/04/2019

  41. L.... W....

    This man had the ability to remake most any song and have it sound better than the original recording, that's rare.

  42. M.... D....

    I'm a Johnny Rivers fan ......big time . What a talent and great songs !

  43. r.... k....

    Love his music!! Great music!!!🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕

  44. A.... M....

    I saw him 2 years in a row during the Taste of Colorado. That was in the ninety s. What a concert. Love it.

  45. d.... h....

    He’s in my rock n roll hall of fame,

  46. m.... r....

    love Johnny Rivers

  47. J.... H....

    Love Johnny Rivers songs!

  48. L.... M....

    Still listening to Johnny's music in 2019, been listening since 1965 !!!

  49. F.... S....

    Amoooo
    Grande artista!!

  50. C.... ....

    My senior year I listened to the rewind album over and over

  51. F.... S....

    Amooooo!!

  52. S.... o....

    Do you actually think that Johnny Rivers looses sleep over the RRHF ? I don't. This guy has had a wonderful career over almost sixty years, made a little money doing what he loves to do.. I bet he has peace of mind and sleeps great at night.

  53. G.... R....

    FROM PLATOON

  54. j.... s....

    Bonnie ,We are here, got derailed but this summer I got reacquainted with his music and loving it.Those Rolling Stone and Rock Hall people like to think they are the rock stars.

  55. O.... ....

    Instead of asking why he's not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame here on Youtube - Go ask the shit show itself on Twitter @Rockhall - ask them why Devo, KRAPwerk, Rufus, The Cars, Blondie, Sex Pistols, and many many more get nominated/inducted over one of the most influential artists of all time.

    Do something about it.

  56. D.... M....

    I'm singing out loud !! What a voice

  57. W.... M....

    This guy is great. His version of baby i need your loving is what i sang to my sons mother... Its still a great song though

  58. j.... s....

    We need some oldies radio stations that play more than just the no# 1 hits and not the same stuff day after day.

  59. G.... M....

    Elvis invited Johnny to a recording session while he did Memphis, Johnny rushed to his studio and recorded it and released it before Elvis did,Elvis never wanted to see Johnny after that,,Elvis needed a hit at this time . Johnny stabbed him in the back

  60. M.... S....

    Great song

  61. M.... V....

    Bet if you pull up the Whiskey his name will be on the Billboard !

  62. M.... V....

    In the mid 60's Johnny sang at the Whiskey a Go Go on the strip in Los Angeles. He was there every weekend and lots of others singers went there to hear him because he sang a blend of soul, country ,cajun and rock n rock...LOVE HIM

  63. M.... V....

    Love him his version was the top of the charts.

  64. F.... B....

    He has one of the best voices and has some of the best songs i've ever heard. and yes why ain't he in the rock and roll hall of fame.

  65. H.... M....

    great add for my collection

  66. L.... M....

    Saudades amo amo amo❤❤❤❤❤❤✌

  67. R.... W....

  75. S.... J....

    It's Easter, 2018, and I'm listening to this. Anyone else?? 😳 Good music like this never gets old.......

  76. A.... ....

  79. M.... H....

    WHAT A VOICE🎶🎶🎵💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋❤

  80. M.... 0....

    Smokey wrote it and is one of the greats of Motown, but in this particular case, I think Johnny's version is superior.

    The Tracks of My Tears
    Johnny Rivers
    Album: Rewind and Realization

    People say I'm the life of the party
    'Cause I tell a joke or two
    Although I may be laughing loud and hearty
    Deep inside I'm blue

    So take a good look at my face
    You see my smile looks out of place
    If you look closer, it's 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

    Ah, take a good look at my face
    You 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 see my smile looks out of place
    If you look closer, it's easy to trace

    Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
    You 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
    If you look closer, it's easy to trace
    The tracks of my tears

  89. D.... S....

    Johnny rivers isn't in the rock and roll of fame because he's that good. How's that?

  90. K.... B....

    I listened to this with my freshman year roommate during her break with the first love of her life. So painful to watch. She was so beautiful, natural blonde hair, sky blue eyes, blissfully innocent. I often wonder what happened to her.

  91. M.... L....

    It fits Linda. In the fall year of 1974. Remember?

  92. N.... R....

    I rolled into Vegas, parked on the strip, turned around and there was Johnny Rivers in the middle of the street on a flat bed trailer rocking it out. I figure he must have owed a mob debt. But he was great.

  93. t.... ....

    Johnny is in MY Rock n Roll hall of fame and that will never change. They have no class when they omit his wonderful talent.

  94. B.... C....

    RE:Bobbie Askren & WATCHMAN 117...That's a very good question. Why aren't a lot of Bands, Groups and Singers that are way more Rock & Roll than the mass ones already Inducted not Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? More like the Rock & Roll Hall of Shame.

  95. B.... C....

    Peaked at #10 on the U.S. Hot 100 Billboard Chart on July 8, 1967

  96. N.... V....

    Um mito da musica !!

  97. J.... D....

    People here if you know a way to get him into the Rock and ROll Hall of Fame, then DO it!

  98. S.... S....

    This was far-&-away my favorite version of this song!

  99. j.... m....

    No reason for him not to be in the hall of frame
