Mmm mmm Big tears and make-up Can leave the traces Of the secrets never found In a million other faces Big tears and make-up Run many ways But never never Save your face We could have been the next big thing There wasn't really that much to lose But it turned out to be Just another nightmare In that everlasting daydream of the film I'm in You played the part Of an actor Dragging me up into your screen Where I knew I'd play the drama queen mmm From the bottom of my heart Big tears and make-up Can leave the traces Of the secrets never found In a million other faces
Big tears and make-up Can never (never) never (never) never Save your time Oh I never believed a word you said But I agreed for a start You paid me ten cents imagination For a million-dollar part And when the face melts to a scream Close-up in the dark The tears roll on and on and on When you never really felt it was time To start Big tears and make-up Can leave the traces Of the secrets never found In a million other faces Big tears and make-up (Big tears and make-up) Can leave the traces Of the secrets never found In a thousand other faces
