[Verse 1]

Smiling faces sometimes

Pretend to be your friend

Smiling faces show no traces

Of the evil that lurks within (Can you dig it?)

[Chorus]

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

They don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies

And I got proof

Oh lawd, yeah

[Verse 2]

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'

[Chorus]

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

Hey, they don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies

And I got proof

[Verse 3]

(Beware) Beware of the handshake

That hides a snake (Can you dig it, can you dig it?)

I'm telling you (Beware)

Beware of the pat on the back

It just might hold you back

Jealousy (Jealousy)

Misery (Misery)

Envy (Envy)

I tell you, you can't see behind

[Chorus]

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

Hey, they don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies

And I got proof

[Verse 4]

Hey, your enemy won't do you no harm (Rap on)

'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 tryin' to school ya

[Chorus]

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)
