Lyrics A Little Bit of Soap - Brook Benton

A Little Bit of Soap

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
