Smiling faces, sometimes,
Pretend to be your friend.
Smiling faces, show no traces,
Of the evil that lurks within.
(Can you dig it?)
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes,
They don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces,
Tell lies and I got proof.
Oh, Lord, yeah.
[Instrumental break with vocal stylings.]
Let me tell ya, the truth is in the eyes,
'Cause the eyes don't lie.
Amen.
Remember, a smile is just a frown,
Turned upside down,
My friend.
So hear me when I'm sayin',
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes,
Hey, they don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces,
Tell lies and I got proof.
(Beware), beware of the handshake,
That hides the snake.
(Can you dig it, can you dig it?)
I'm a-telling you,
(Beware), beware of the pat on the back,
[Two claps.]
It just might hold you back.
Jealousy (jealousy), misery (misery),
Envy (envy), I tell you, you can't see
Behind smiling faces.
Smiling faces, sometimes,
Hey, they don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces,
Tell lies and I got proof.
Hey, your enemy won't do you no harm,
'Cause you'll know where he's coming from,
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya,
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya.
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes,
They don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces,
[Fade.]
Tell lies and I got proof.
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes...)
