Sade

Smooth Operator

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
Across the 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

Somebody Already Broke My Heart

1 - You came along when I needed a savior
Someone to pull me through somehow
I've been torn apart so many times
I've been hurt so many times before
So I'm counting on you now

Somebody already broke my heart
Somebody already broke my heart

Here I am
So don't leave me stranded
On the end of a line
Hanging on the edge of a lie
I've been torn apart so many times
I've been hurt so many times before
So be careful and be kind

2 - Somebody already broke my heart
If someone has to lose, I don't want to play
Somebody already broke my heart
No, no I can't go there again

Repeat 1

Clean heart


Clean heart
Clean and sharp
Clean dream
Bad start
He loved his brother and his sister
Luke and tony called him mister
They made him feel much more
Like a man
He loved his daddy though he never told him
And he loved his mother
He loved
He loved her like an italian

Little jane said, you look so fine
So fine
Something in his smile
Made them feel like strangers
And then he straightened his belt
With a lover's touch
And he said I'm gonna bring home
The things that are out of your clutch

Seemed like the hottest night in summer
A heat that makes you feel like dying

Somewhere in the next block
There was a baby crying
Finger on the trigger for the years to come

Finger on the trigger for the years to come

And as the moon slid up over the restless streets
Sirens mocking and people stop to see
Their greedy eyes don't realise
He's someone else's son
Finger on the trigger for the years to come

Finger on the trigger for the years to come

Every word

I saw a picture
How could you be so careless
How could you have done that to us
And I write this letter
I send it all back to you
And every word you said

[1] - In there every word, oh oh oh oh
How could you have done that to us

You treated me like a stranger
And all the time I was loving you
All your slick moves
They were once innocent moves
I wanted to look up to you
I really trusted you
And every word you said

[Repeat 1]

(Love is what the word was)

[2] - I was loving you like a child
All the time you were smiling
The same smile
I was loving you like a child
I really trusted you

Every word you said
Every word you said
(Love is what the word was)

Every word you said
Every word you said
(Love is what the word was)
(Love is what the word was)

Every word you said
Every word you said

Nothing Can Come Between Us

I always hope that you remember
We'll never really learn the meaning of it all
What we have is strong and tender

It's strong still
Can't pull us apart

In the middle of the madness

And I always wanted you to know
There is always this
And this is everlasting

Is It A Crime

This may come, this may come as some surprise
but i miss you
i could see through all of your lies
but still i miss you
he takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
he tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine

he takes, but surely she can't give what i'm feeling now
she takes, but surely she doesn't know how

is it a crime
is it a crime
that i still want you
and i want you to want me too

my love is wider, wider than victoria lake
my love is taller, taller than the empire state

it divides and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
i can't give you more than that, surely you want me back

is it a crime
is it a crime
that i still want you
and i want you to want me too

my love wider than victoria lake
taller than the empire state

it dives and it jumps
i can't give you more than that, surely you want me back

is it a crime
is it a crime
that i still want you
and i want you to want me too

Jezebel

Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth
She probably had less than every one of us
But when she knew how to walk she knew
How to bring the house down
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down
Jezebel, what a belle
Looks like a princess in her new dress
How did you get that
Do you really want to know, she said
It would seem she's on her way
It's more, more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
Had nothing to lose - she said it was worth it
Reach for the top
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine
Jezebel Jezebel
Won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
And the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
She'll say you don't know what you've been missing
And by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening
Reach for the top she said
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

one day we're gonna wake up
and the ghetto's all around
all over my friend
have you ever seen a man break down

do you know how that feels
to walk the street with your head held high
why, why, why
oh lord have mercy
did you ever see a man break down

there's nothing sacred
breathing hatred
we have to face it
no-one can take it (how can they take that much)
and feel no pain

oooh, did you ever see a man break down

King Of Sorrow

Im crying everyones tears
And there inside our private
war I died the night before
And all of these remnants
of joy and disaster
What am I supposed to do
I want to cook you a soup that
warms your soul
But nothing would change
nothing would change at all
Its just a day that brings
it all about
Just another day
And nothings any good

The DJ's playing the
same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will
ever let me go
I feel like
I am the king
of sorrow
The king of sorrow

I suppose I could just walk away
Will I dissapoint my future
if I stay
Its just a day that brings
it all about
Just another day
And nothings any good

The DJ's playing the
same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief
ever be gone
Will it ever go
Im the king
of sorrow
The king of sorrow

Im crying everyones tears
I have already paid for all
my future sins
Theres nothing anyone
can say to take this away
Its just another day
And nothings any good

Im the king
of sorrow
King of sorrow

Never As Good As The First Time

Good times they come and they go
never going to know
what fate is going to blow
your way just hope that it feels right
sometimes it comes and it goes
you take it ever so slow
and then you lose it, then it flows right to you

so we rely on the past
special moments that last
were they as tender as we dare to remember
such a fine time as this
what could equal the bliss
the thrill of the first kiss
it'll blow right to you

it's never as good as the first time
never as good as the first time

good times they come and they go
never going to know
it's like the weather
one day chicken next day feathers
the rose we remember
the thorns we forget
we'd love and leave
we never spend a minute on regret

it is a possibility
the more we know the less we see
second time, second time is not quite what it seems
natural as the way we came to be
second time won't live up to the dream

it's never as good as the first time
never as good as the first time

natural as the way we came to be
second time won't live up to the dream
natural as the way we came to be
second time is not quite what it seemed

it's never
as good as the first time
as the first time (never as good as the first time)
the first time

natural as the way we came to be
second time won't live up to the dream
natural as the way we came to be
second time is not quite what it seemed

it's never
as good as the first time
as the first time (never as good as the first time)
the first time
