A little bit of soap
Will wash away her lipstick on your face
But a little bit of soap
Will never, never, ever 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 the powder on your chin
A little bit of soap
Will never, never, ever 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
Like a bird, who left your robin's nest
And just like all the rest you flew away

Mmm, a little bit of soap
Will take away her perfume eventually
But a little bit of soap
Will never take 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.....
