Smiling Faces Sometimes

[Intro]
I chose this particular song because the words have a very special message
I've heard a lot of songs, and I've sang a lot of songs
But none of them really, really came right out and called a spade a spade
This song tells it just like it is
The message is simply that
It's just about an impossible task
To figure out which of your friends' smile is a mask
Dig it
Mm hmm

[Verse 1]
Smiling faces sometimes
Pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces
Of the evil that lurks within

[Chorus]
Smiling faces sometimеs, sometimes
They don't tеll the truth
Mmm, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof, ooh hoo
Mmm mmm
Make you wanna moan sometime

[Verse 2]
Let me tell ya, the truth is in the eyes
'Cause I know the eyes, they don't lie
Somebody say amen (Amen)
Remember, a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend, my friend
I wonder, can you say it again? Hmm

[Chorus]
Let me tell ya, smiling faces sometimes
Oh, they don't tell the truth
Mmm, smiling faces
Oh, they tell lies
Look at me, can't you tell I got proof?

[Verse 3]
Beware, better beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
You might get bit
I'm telling you beware
Oh brother, beware of the pat on the back
Oh, it just might hold you back
Hehe, jealousy
Misery
Envy
I tell you, you can't see behind

[Chorus]
Smiling faces, hehe, smiling faces sometimes
I know you've seen it before, they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
They tell lies, oh, and I got proof
Smiling faces, hahahahaha

[Verse 4]
Brothers and sisters, your enemy won't do you no harm
'Cause you'll know where, just where he's coming from
Oh, don't let the handshake and the smiles fool ya
Take it, take it, take my advice, I'm only tryna school you that

[Chorus]
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, hehe, smiling faces tell lies
Look at me, can't you tell I got proof?

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
Oooh
