the jarmels - 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
