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
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
I'm telling you, beware, beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back

Jealousy, jealousy, misery, 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 comin' 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
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
