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
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
