not sure.

Fragments from memory of a song by the same name from the late
'60's/early '70's (by The Dynamics?):

Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies, and I've got proof

Beware (beware) of the pat on your back
It might just hold you back

Close 'nuff for a tiparillo (remember those?) if not a full-sized cigar.
Sorry I don't have the lyrics, but this may aid your search. "Smiling
Faces Sometimes" was a # 3 hit in 1971 for the Undisputed Truth.

SMILING FACES SOMETIMES (Barrett Strong & Norman Whitfield) (Artist:
Undisputed Truth)

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, uh,
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof, oh Lord, yeah.
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 say:
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 of the pat on the back;
It just might hold you back;
Jealousy (jealousy); misery (misery); envy.
I tell you I 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, uh,
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof,
Tthe enemy won't do you no harm cause you know where he's coming from,
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool you.
Take my advice, I'm only trying to school you.
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes;
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
Beware, beware of the handshake that hides the snake;
I'm telling you: beware of the pat on the back;
It might just hold you back;
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth, smiling
faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.


(And thanks, Ron, for the artist)
