Sade
Songwriters: Helen Adu / Ray St. John
Diamond life,
Lover boy
He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending
But somewhere to start
No need to ask
He’s a smooth operator
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Coast to coast,
LA to Chicago,
Western male
Across the north and south to Key Largo,
Love for sale
Face to face,
Each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase
A license to love,
Insurance to hold
Melt all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels
But his heart is cold
No need to ask
He’s a smooth operator
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Coast to coast,
LA to Chicago,
Western male
Across the north and south to Key Largo,
Love for sale
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator
Smooth operator,
Smooth operator~
