[Intro]
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Diamond nights and ruby lights
High in the sky
Heaven help him when he falls

[Verse 1]
Diamond life lover boy
He moves 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
The 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, L.A. 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'; his heart is cold

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

[Post-Chorus]
Coast-to-coast, L.A. to Chicago: Western male
Across the North and South, to Key Largo: love for sale

[Outro]
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

今天分享一首 Sade 的《Smooth Operator》。

这首是英国乐队Sade的首张录音室专辑《 Diamond Life(1984)》中的第四首,也是最后一首单曲。1985年5月,这首歌登上了美国Billboard百强单曲榜前两周的第五位。这首歌在排行榜前40名停留了13周,并在公告牌成人当代音乐排行榜上登顶了两周。尽管《Your Love Is King》仍然是Sade迄今为止在英国最畅销的单曲。但《Smooth Operator》是该乐队在美国排行榜上的突破之作,也是他们在国际上最成功的单曲。

Ray St. John与Sade Adu合写了《Smooth Operator》,他之前是Adu的前乐队Pride的成员。这两个人在1982年合作创作了这首歌,当时他们还是Pride乐队的成员,但是没有来得及录制,因为在Sade加入后不久,Ray St. John就离开了Pride乐队。

这首歌讲述了一个过着奢华生活的时髦男人的故事,他很受女士们的欢迎,一路走,一路贩卖爱情,伤了很多人的心。“穿越北方和南方,到基拉戈,出售爱情”,“他的心是冷的。”今日大风,来一首让人心冷的歌。

Sade是一支英国爵士乐队,成立于1983年,以他们的主唱Sade Adu命名。他们的音乐以R&B、灵魂乐、爵士和软摇滚为特色。
