Nou nog eentje van mijn kant, “nee, die paste niet in een top-10” omdat er nu eenmaal maar tien in kunnen.
Ja, ik weet het, The Jarmels en zelfs Brook Benton, maar de Exciters doen het nog het meest voor mij.
A little bit of soap
Will wash away her lipstick on your face
A little bit of soap
Will never ever ever ever erase
The pain in my heart
That I hide as I go through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears
A little bit of soap
Will wash away her powder on your cheek
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 leads someone to cry night and day
Just like a bird that left its warming nest
Just like all the rest, you flew away
A little bit of soap
Will take away the 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
A little bit of soap, 1966
