A little bit of soap
Will wash away your lipstick
On my face
But a little bit of soap
Will never
Never 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
But a little bit of soap
Will never
Never 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 the warmest nest
And just like all the rest
You flew away
A little bit of soap
Will take away your perfume
Eventually
A little bit of soap
Will never
Wash away the memories
Of your name
In the night
That I'll call through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears
