"(Beware) beware of the handshake.
That hides the snake (can you dig it, can you dig it?),
(I'm a-tellin' you) beware, beware of the pat on the back,
It just might hold you back"

Today's song is from The Undisputed Truth, with their one Top 40 hit, "Smiling Faces Sometimes". Thios gem peaked at #3 in September of 1971, stalling out behind McCartney's Uncle Albert and The Bee Gees' How Can You Mend A Broken Heart. Tough competition.
Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrent Strong, this was first recorded by the Temptations. But this is the hit version.
