Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within

[Chorus]
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies, and I got proof

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
Let me tell you

[Chorus]
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, uh
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 (envy)
I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
[Chorus]
Smiling faces sometimes, they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies, and I got proof
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
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Listen to me now
(Beware) Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back

[Chorus]
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 tryna 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
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies, and I got proof
The impossible task is to figure out which of the smiles is a mask
Think about it
Did you hear me?
The impossible task is to figure out which of the smiles is a mask

[Chorus]
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
Don't show the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies, and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
Don't show the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies, and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

[Outro]
The impossible task is to figure out which of the smiles is a mask
The impossible task is to figure out which of the smiles is a mask
The impossible task is to figure out which of the smiles is a mask
The impossible task is to figure out which of the smiles is a mask
