A little bit of soap
Will wash away your lipstick on 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
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,
He isn't one to cry, night and day.
Like a bird, you left the robin's nest,
And 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
Oh, it's never, never, never, never
Gonna wash away my tears
Oh, never wash away my tears
Will wash away your lipstick on 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
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,
He isn't one to cry, night and day.
Like a bird, you left the robin's nest,
And 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
Oh, it's never, never, never, never
Gonna wash away my tears
Oh, never wash away my tears
