Smooth Operator (Meshell Ndegeocello Version)

[Spoken Intro: Eric Schermerhorn] He's laughing with another girl And playing with another heart Placing high stakes Making heart ache He's love in seven languages Diamond nights and ruby light High in the sky Heaven help him when he falls... [Verse 1] Diamond life lover boy Move through space with minimum waste, maximum joy City lights, 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 [Chorus] No need to ask Smooth, smooth operator Smooth, smooth operator Smooth, smooth operator [Verse 2] Coast-to-coast, L.A., Chicago (Western male) Across the North and South, Key Largo Love for sale Key Largo Love for sale Love for sale [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] A license to love, insurance to hold Melts all your memories and change into gold His eyes are like angels when his heart is cold [Chorus] No need to ask Smooth, smooth operator Smooth, smooth operator Smooth, smooth operator Smooth, smooth operator
