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

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,

Have you heard when love begins to die
It leaves someone to cry night and Day

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

a little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears

it's gonna never, never, never
wash away my tears
