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 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 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 Just 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 A little bit of soap Will never wash away my tears
