Smiling Faces Sometimes

by Joan Osborne



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, huh

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

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

They don't tell the truth, huh

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 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)(2 x's)

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

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 try' to school ya
