A little bit of soap will wash away your lipstick on my face A little bit of soap will never, never, never ever erase A pain in my heart, in my eyes As I go through the lonely years A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears A little bit of soap will take away your powder from my chin A little bit of soap will never, never, never ever begin To take away the hurt that I feel As I go through the lonely years A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears Have you heard when love begins to die And he isn't one to cry Night and day Like a bird, you left the robin's nest And you're just like all the rest You flew away Ooh, a little bit of soap will take away your perfume eventually A little bit of soap will never wash away the memory Of your name, in the night That I call through the lonely years A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears No, I'll never lose the memory of your name In the night, that I call through the lonely years A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears Mm, it's never, never, never, never gonna wash away my tears Mm, never wash away my tears
