[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator

[Post-Chorus]
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale

[Verse 2]
Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
No need to ask
He’s a smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator
