in 1971, i heard a song a few times on a top 40 station, the lyrics are: I've seen the liars, i've seen the devil, i've seen my friends in disguise as my friends, I've got my fears, I've cried my tears... been searching since the invention of the internet...
I’ve spent the last 2 hours straight searching around to help you find it (I was very intrigued by yours for some reason), and the only thing I came up with that kinda-sorta seems close is “Smiling Faces Sometimes” by The Undisputed truth. Honestly, it’s a stretch, but here are some parts in the lyrics that match/resemble yours anyway: - “Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend” / “they don’t tell the truth” [Friend + pretend; friends in disguise] - “truth is in the eyes 'cause the eyes don't lie” [I’ve seen liars] - “Beware of the handshake that hides the snake” [sort of suggests that devil imagery from your lyrics (eg. snake) but this one is *definitely* a stretch] Good luck, hopefully your decades-long search will come to an end soon and the tip of your tongue will finally be free!
