A Little Bit of Soap Lyrics

(Bert Berns)
A little bit of soap
Will 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, 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-a just like all the rest you flew away

Mmm, a little bit of soap
Will take away your perfume eventually
But 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
Mmm, a little bit of soap-a
Will never wash away my tears

Mmm, it's gonna never, never, never
Uh-huh, wash away my tears
