Lyrics
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
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, L.A. 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
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Written by: Raymond St. John, Sade Adu
