Lyrics of Smooth Operator - Remastered by Sade
verse
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
verse
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
chorus
No need to ask, he's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
chorus
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
verse
Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase
verse
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold
chorus
No need to ask, he's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
chorus
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
chorus
Smooth operator

Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
