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

Im a tech death metal guy but i find both her and this song very compelling

[@donaldcook9991]

Most electrifying female artist of all time. Nobody close. Insane vocals and a brilliant band. Unmatched over time

[@erikuszynski8483]

I would say Whitney Houston is #1 with Sade as a close second

[@stuarthenry7211]

[@alexsandrosantana1231]

Verdade rebeca 👍

[@DebramMcCann]

63 and she's still beautiful and still got the voice.

[@cmrios97]

Would be amazing if she dropped a new album or Christmas song

[@jjabrams452]

🙈 That was in 1993. She was 34 back then... Not 63.

[@DebramMcCann]

@jjabrams452 well she still looks the same now

[@prestonfernandes1671]

3:13 the smooth bass, the groovy drums, that sexy sax, the E.Piano, everything just is wow!!!

[@lindokuhlemsibi3914]

Gues it's safe to say it was "smoothly operated "

[@robertperkins7262]

Look at her eyes people!! Sade feels her music and she talks to you with her words. I miss this lady on the stage again! No matter what..God Bless you Sade and THANK YOU

[@pmarchenri]

I was at this show and if you own a time machine, you should go to this show. Of the thousands of shows I've been to, this is top five. Perfection, and we need more music, elegance and magic from Sade and her band!

[@floecizes]

💜 so happy you experienced this in person! Many blessings to you and happiness in your life! 💜

[@cmm8622]

[@SandraNasrollah]

Right on.

[@Bledsow]

Damn right

[@plamen4u]

Her voice is like liquid gold

[@brbrdeng9122]

The best celebrities are the ones you don't hear on the news, never once saw any article on Sade, and she knows who she is without being a horrible person. Other reasons to love her beside her music....drop dead gorgeous, soothing voice, and confident poise. Beautiful

[@greatwhiteshark7395]

No human being would ever sing that song better than you, nooo oneee!!!! Diva!!!

[@MissTia777]

Wrong! Whitney would!

[@TheShark9696]

Sade was my first celeb crush. I remember vividly, I was 6 years old in 1984 and my parents had the vinyl album Diamond Life. This song was on the radio ten times a day and I always asked my mother to play this album at home.

[@Mslovely91]

I remember seeing one of her music videos in VH1 when I was around 10 and was amazed of her beauty and voice. It’s been a dream of mine to see her perform and I’m in my 30s now I still admire her lol

[@triciabukta4431]

Incredible Talent. Flawless Vocals & Musicianship. Plus the Most Sophisticated Sexy Ever! What is there not to disect? Tks for feeling this Vibe, from Trish the Satellite Dish! Lol

[@vxnylla]

Wow she looks natural beauty 100%✨

[@esthersalome2459]

SHE IS ❤❤❤❤

[@socallawrence]

Yes but not a smooth operator like me 😉

[@AftenSummers-bh5eg]

@vernon dan not her real pic. Catfish.

[@CaioStriker]

She is absolutely elegant without effort...

[@TB-vx3qw]

Been listening to her since the 80’s. Every time I hear her is like the first time...Extrodinary!

[@patrickmaewyn9856]

Sade and her band are so close to their music... We've never done better. The group best performance are on scene because they need to share with the public. We love you Sade

[@desseraemilner5189]

Man she is sooooo slept on smh this was great music! I loved that she appreciated the music just as much as she loved to sing! Not many singers can sing how they record! I LOVE SADE!!

[@bobs.stevenson9704]

what are you talking about, this was one of the biggest songs of the entire era. She made bank off this song alone and still lives very, very well today.

[@not_obsidian]

She’s pretty famous dude, like one of the greats.

[@lurimarmaldonado8165]

I believe that she is very big in Great Britain. She is one of their big stars.

[@scottjohannen2688]

all I want before I die is to see Sade play this live. That is all

[@jaskau2462]

YES! Then I can die happily. For instant stroke after the gig...

[@bluewaves2539]

I hope to see her play live too. She hasn't toured in awhile though. I have several CDs and the Bring Me Home DVD which would be amazing with a theater system. I hope to see her before I die. Surely she will tour again? It's no ordinary love.

[@1999straker]

i like your sense of humour !!

[@JDSexY94]

The same here

[@conradwilliams1477]

dude exactly life literally won't be complete without seeing this live

[@DRIMKEN]

SADE IS A HEAVEN'S GIFT

[@RichardCobey]

So true

[@cjaybrooks8775]

I fell in love with Sade when my mom played it religiously when I was a child. Now a grown man I still listen to this magnificent woman who seems to never age overtime LOL

[@dalyna24]

Same!

[@bitamaziresalomy7691]

Sade music aging like fine wine in 2021

[@adystahari6394]

Her voice just so smooth Like a smooth operator Can't get enough of this

[@petergrogan8031]

Sade, the lady and her music without question, one of the all time greats.

[@dynamo1992]

I remember there was a website dedicated to her that was named like that

[@beamrider00]

To play an instrument, and have the Gods themselves descend to Earth, and annoint you as one of their own.....This is how that bass player must feel.

[@tupregunta]

I would say she is the epitome of sensuality.

[@davidringo1399]

and Id say you are 100% correct

[@dxwallace55]

When she came out in the 80's, she had every man of every race, creed, color, and religion hypnotized. She's got this "snake charmer" or "genie in a bottle" kind of mesmerizing spell that threw us all into a loop back in the day, Can't none of these modern artists do it like Sade.....

[@k888k]

Feminine energy essence...

[@davidringo1399]

@@dxwallace55 still got me .....shes timeless...A Goddess.....

[@jackhong7221]

Hear Hear

[@bluebird4750]

I’m a 60 ish heterosexual woman with 2 grown daughters and a young granddaughter. I’ve adored Sade always and I think some of the newer artists could take a lesson from this genuine lady. She’s pure talent and class. The best role model as far as we want to have our children and ourselves for that matter, having artists for role models. You know what I mean ? The real role model is in our faith. Bless this sweet Sade ❤️🌹

[@Vanedis]

@Dre_Storm She forgot to mention that she found Sade sexually attractive.

[@slightlyoffensivesob4690]

So you find Sade sexy huh? Me too..

[@tomvolvo7208]

Well said:)

[@mikecushing7276]

Fantastic wonderful post

[@Bledsow]

If I’m suck on an island with a limited amount of music forever, this is on the list, it’s perfection

[@johnstucko2740]

I normally never comment on these KZbin videos. I don't want the wrath of my family and friends. But this is my favorite live video of Sade. She and her voice are so friggin hot! And the way she moves around on stage as she sings this awesome song....She could read/sing the friggin' want ads and I'd buy the CD!! She is number one of my top three female singers. If Mel Torme was the "velvet fog" then she is the "Velvet Mist!"

[@SirOlsen1]

What an artist, and what a band! As a drummer myself, who can apreciate some great chops and virtuosoty, there is still few things I apreciate more than this extremely repetetive and avsolutely groovy groove laid down by the drums/percussion. That is actually far harder than you could suspect. Love it! Amazing musicians! 🥰❤️🥁

[@marcus-pf7lp]

Physical perfection. I'm completely out of breath.

[@audit_the_pigs]

Who else other then me had a crush on this beautiful queen ??? that song never gets old ❤❤❤

It requires great talent and a lot of work to sound this good live. The entire band is just awesome. Sade herself is, of course, the cherry on top. It's like watching and listening to a goddess.
