Smooth Operator

Diamond life lover boy
He moves in space with minimum waste
And maximum joy
City lights, business nights
When you require streetcar desir
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 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
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melt all your memories
And change into gold
His eyes are like angels
But his heart is cold
Smooth operator...
