Note: Click “Show More“ for lyrics. “Smiling Faces Sometimes“ is a soul song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for the Motown label. It was originally recorded by the Temptations in 1971. Producer Norman Whitfield had the song re-recorded by the Undisputed Truth the same year, resulting in a number-three Billboard Hot 100 position for the group. “Smiling Faces“ was the only Top 40 single released by the Undisputed Truth, and was included on their debut album The Undisputed Truth. Smiling Faces Sometimes (N. Whitfield/B. Strong - Gordy Records/Jobete Music/BMI) Smiling faces sometimes Pretend to be your friend Smiling faces show no traces Of the evil that lurks within (can you dig it?) Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes They don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof Oh, oh, yeah Let me tell you 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 saying Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes, yeah 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 (can you dig it, can you dig it?) I'm a-tellin' you 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, smiling faces, sometimes Hey, they don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof Hey, your enemy won't do you no harm (Rap on) 'cause you'll know where he's comin' from Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya Take my advice, I'm only tryin' to school ya 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
