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,

Mmmm it's never never never never gonna wash away my tears,

Mmmm never wash away my tears.
