Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? Playing the field goals, looking around in a bent leg down Thought I'd get more out of life on the wild side But all I felt was lonesome, I can't think it back on you No one else could move things along the way you do Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? All that you was never sure I always needed more Happiness and I let you down and I became the clown But you never lost your groove, you always stood so tall Eased me right out of your life and now I'm alone Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? I tried falling back but you had moved along and you sent me gone Life itself is meaningless when you need a kiss Now with somebody new, it really sets your heart You didn't flinch when you saw me out and that's the worst part Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me? Smooth operator, you're a smooth operator, won't you take it from me?
