(David Jolicoeur / Vincent Mason / Kelvin Mercer / Paul Huston)
A little bit of soap will wash
Away her lipstick on your face
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 her 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
Just like a bird
Who left the warmest nest
He's just like all the rest
You flew away
Yeah, a little bit of soap will
Take away her perfume eventually
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 will
Never wash away my tears
