A little bit of soap will wash
Away the lipstick from my face
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 just like
All the rest, you flew away

Mmm, 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

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

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
