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, mmm, mmm, mmm

Have you
heard when love begins to die it leaves someone to
cry night and
Day?
Like a bird, you left
your robin's nest and-a 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-a will never wash away my
tears
FADE
Mmm, it's gonna never, never,
never, uh-huh, wash away my tears
