He's laughing with another girl

And playing with another heart

Placing high stakes, making hearts ache

He's loved in seven languages

Jewel box life diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky

Heaven help him, when he falls

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

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts

When 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 but 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, smooth operator

Smooth operator, smooth operator
