Smooth Operator Lyrics By Sade

    he’s laughing with another girl
    and playing with another heart
    placing high stakes making hearts ache
    he’s loved in seven languages
    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

    pre
    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

    facetoface each classic case
    we shadow box and doublecross
    yet need the chase

    pre
    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

    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
