A Little Bit of Soap - Brook Benton

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 hills

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

But 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 hills

A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

Mmm, have you heard a love begins to die

isn’t one to cry, night and day

But like a bird, you left your robin’s nest

and 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 hills

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 hills

A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

Mmm, a little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

Mmm, it’s gonna never never never wash away my tears
