Intro
[Verse] (spoken)
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
Verse
Diamond life,
lover boy
We move 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
When sentiment is left to chance
Gm7 Am7 Dm (Fill)
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
N.C.
No need to ask
Chorus
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.
Bridge
Sax Solo
Verse
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
Gm7 Am7 Dm (Fill)
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold
N.C.
No need to ask
Chorus
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.
Outro
Smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
(Repeat and fade)
