Smiling faces sometimes
Pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces
Of the evil that lurks within

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof, oh Lord, yeah

Let me tell you, 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
Yeah, 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
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back

Jealousy, misery, 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 you
Take my advice I'm only tryin' to school you

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
