A little bit of soap,
Will-a 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-hmm-mm-hmm.
[Bass Singer:]
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.
[Lead Singer:]
Mmm, a little bit of soap,
Will-a take away your perfume eventually.
But a little bit of soap,
Will never a-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.
[Fades.]
Mmm, it's gonna never, never, never,
Uh, wash away my tears.
Mmm...
Will-a wash away your lipstick on my face.
But a little bit of soap,

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.

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.
