A little bit of soap
Will wash away
Your lipstick
On my face
But a little bit of soap
Will never
Never never ever erase
The pain in my heart
And my eyes
As I go through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
Will never
Wash
Away my tears
Mmm
A little bit of soap
Will wash 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
Now have
You heard when love begins to die
It leaves someone to cry night and day?
Just like a bird, you left your robin's nest
And just like all the rest, you flew away
Mmm, a little bit of soap
Will take away your perfume eventually
But 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
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
Mmm, a little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears
Mmm, it's gonna never, never, never
Uh-huh, wash away my tears
