[Intro]
She's laughing with another boy
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
She's loved in seven languages
Jewel box life, diamond nights
And ruby lights high in the sky
Heaven help her when she falls

[Verse 1]
Diamond life lover girl
She moves in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights

[Pre-Chorus]
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
Sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start

[Chorus]
No need to ask
She's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

[Post-Chorus]
Coast-to-coast, L.A. to Chicago: Western baby
Across the North and South, to Key Largo: love for sale

[Verse 2]
Face-to-face, each classic case
We shadow box and double-cross
Yet need the chase

[Pre-Chorus]
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
Her eyes are like angels'; her heart is cold

[Chorus]
No need to ask
She's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

[Post-Chorus]
Coast-to-coast, L.A. to Chicago: Western baby
Across the North and South, to Key Largo: love for sale

[Outro]
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
