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
Acrossthe 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

"Smooth Operator (Live)" by Sade Listen ad-free with You
While the rendition was inch perfect in Sade style almost all the way through, the variations served to lift the performance beyond the sky. How I wish I was there.
Sade & The band is a legend, extremely unique and uncopiable. For me, talking about Sade is about Multicultural jazz music tunes, an extraordinary bitter sweet sensual experiences, contemporary and stunning visualisation (since Smooth Operator music video) . Especially on this live performance, the cinematography is exceptional. Classy as always. Salute!
