Lyrics:

A little bit of soap will wash away your lipstick on my face,
A little bit of soap will never, never never ever erase,
A pain in my heart, in 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 take 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,
And he isn't one to cry,
Night and day.
Like a bird, you left the robin's nest,
And you're just like all the rest,
You flew away.

Ooh 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.

No 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,
Mmmm it's never never never never gonna wash away my tears,
Mmmm never wash away my tears.
