Lyrics
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

A never-outdated classic jazz
year ago when tape players were a thing, I had Sade, Diamond life on one side and Grace Jones Island life on the other. Listened to it nearly every day for about 3 years while working by myself at a company that had very few staff so most days were spent alone. They got me through the days. I still no every word to every song. I love that she presents the songs exactly as they were produced on the album. Why change perfection!!!!!!!
She was 51 when singing this live! WOW! Timeless beauty, one in several billion singer. I have never heard a voice as amazing and timeless as hers. She is my favorite singer.

Holy smokes !! It's 4:30 in the morning. Getting ready to hit the hay. Saw this link. Hesitated to hit it. Glad I did. So wish I was at this concert. Comments say that they appreciate the performance of the band. They recognize brilliance. I am not a musician. But boy are these people right. They gotta be !! This is a killer performance. This song is one of the all-time arrangements in music history. At least modern history, anyway. Something about it. I recall when it first hit the airwaves. Took the world by storm. Always put a smile on my face. Or at least in my soul. And Sade has lots more where this came from.
Sade always fascinated me. Their music was incredible. And she just came across as so chill, refined. Perfectly dressed, a straight ahead direct beautiful woman, with a beautiful voice. I loved their style of music.
every time I make a comment on youtube I get bagged out but in my opinion Sade rates as top 5 all time female singers and top 3 alltime to look at. for more than 30 years she's been a star

I whole heartily agree," that live performance was only missing me." That band was exceptional,the bass guitar throwed down,the saxophone was incredible." The background singers got off, even their dancing was tight." the performance was critical acclaimed." I love " Sade " forever."
So wonderful to hear her singing the song flawlessly. She is in her own league. Incomparable.
one of the best live performances ever… everything is in place… Sade, the band, the crowd, the song, the spirit… the feeling ❤
The song fell into my mind and can't leave. She started creeping. Before bowing to the Guitarist, She looked mysteriously with this, her unique smile. After that, She wasn't scared to bow to the Guitarist. Distance to herself. Then she started that her simple dance and come back to the singing - smooth with a small hoarseness. And this saxophone background. As if the dialogue between her singing and playing the saxophone. Sophisticated, great, gorgeous, astonishing, breathtaking, I have no words.
This entire performance is amazing. Every musician, the backup singers, and of course the queen
Such class. Pop music today could learn so much from Sade and her band - the whole presentation is wonderful.
