Smiling Faces Sometimes

(album: Ma - 1973)

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
The truth is in the eye '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 saying

Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes 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 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 they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof
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 trying to school ya

Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes they don't tell the truth
