Lyrics: Sade Adu
Music: Raymond William St John/Helen Folasade Adu/Sade Adu
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
