Sade - Smooth Operator lyrics

He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Jukebox life, Diamond nights and ruby lights
High in the sky
Heaven help him when he falls

Diamond life lover boy
He moves 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
The 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
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels 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
Smooth operator
