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
Diamond nights and ruby lights high in the sky
Heaven help him when he falls
Diamond life, lover boy
We 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

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

Jezebel
[Verse]
Jezebel, wasn't born
With a silver spoon in her mouth
She prob'ly 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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
Reach for the top
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war, she said
I want to get what's mine
[Verse]
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 list'ning
[Chorus]
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
The Sweetest Taboo
If I tell you
If I tell you now
Will you keep on
Will you keep on loving me?
If I tell you
If I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me?
You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
That is you
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)
You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you (with you)
You give me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)
I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
I think it's you (ha, ha)
There's a quiet storm
And I never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
You give me (you give me) the
(You give me the) sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you (with you)
You give me, keep giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
You've got the biggest heart
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me
Every day is Christmas and every night is New Year's Eve
Will you keep on loving me? (Ha, ha)
Will you keep on, will you keep on?
Bringing out the best in me
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 dives, 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
I still want you
And I want you to want me too
My love is wider than Victoria Lake
Taller than the Empire State
It dives, 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
It dives, it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back
Tell me is it a crime
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
And then it flows right to you
So we rely on the past
And 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
(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 is not quite what it seemed
Natural as the way we came to be
The 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)
Never as good as the first time
(Never as good as the first time)
Ba-da-da-da, bum-bum-bum
Ba-ba-da-da-da, bum-bum
Ba-da-da-da, bum-bum-bum
Ba-ba-da-da-da, bum-bum
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
As natural as the way we came to be
The 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
As natural as the way we came to be
Second time is not quite what it seemed
It's never, ooh
As good as the first time (as good)
As the first time
As good as the first time (first time)
Ba-da-da-da, bum-bum-bum
Ba-ba-da-da-da, bum-bum
Ba-da-da-da, bum-bum-bum
Ba-ba-da-da-da, bum-bum
Paradise

I'd wash the sand off the shore
Give you the world if it was mine
Blow you right to my door
Feels fine
[Chorus]
Feels like
You're mine

You're mine
Like paradise
I'd give you the world if it was mine
Feels fine

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
So hold on
In the middle of the madness
When the time is running out and you're left alone
All I want is you to know that
It's strong still
Can't pull us apart
Nothing (can come)
Can come (nothing can come)
Between us (nothing can come)
Nothing (between us)
Can pull us apart (yeah baby)
(Nothing can come)
Can come (nothing can come)
Between us
(Nothing can come between us)
I always hope that you remember
What we have is strong and tender
In the middle of the madness
Hold on
So it truly is a good thing
And I always wanted you to know
There is always this and this is everlasting
Hold on
It's about faith
It's about trust, yeah, yeah
It's about faith
It's about trust
Nothing can come
Nothing can come
Nothing can come between us (yeah baby)
Nothing can come
Nothing can come
Nothing can come between us
Can come (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Can tear (nothing can come between us, yeah baby)
Can pull (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Us apart (nothing can come between us)
Can come (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Can tear (nothing can come between us, yeah baby)
Can pull (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Us apart (nothing can come between us)
Can come (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Can tear (nothing can come between us, yeah baby)
Can pull (nothing can come, nothing can come)
Us apart (nothing can come between us)
Like a Tattoo
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth
Fourteen years, he said
I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As I reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
Kiss of Life
There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly led me to you
Look at the sky
It's the colour of love
There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly came down from above
He led me to you
He led me to you
He built a bridge to your heart, all the way
How many tons of love inside? I can't say
When I was led to you
I knew you were the one for me
I swear whole world could feel my heartbeat
When I lay eyes on you
I-I-I-I-I
You wrapped me up in the colour of love
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life
Wasn't it clear from the start?
Look the sky is full of love
Yeah, the sky is full of love
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
Kiss of life
You wrapped me up in the colour of love
In the moonlight baby
It must have been an angel came down from above
Giving me love, yeah
Giving me love, yeah
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
Cherish The Day
You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer
If you were mine
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go to heaven
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
You're ruling the way that I move
You take my air
You show me how deep love can be
You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
Won't run away
You show me how deep love can be
You show me how deep love can be
This is my prayer
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
Won't run away
Won't shy
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
Pearls
There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how she's dying
She's dying to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
Hurts like brand new shoes
There is a woman in Somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives in a world she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
Hurts like brand new shoes
By Your Side
[Verse 1]
You think I'd leave your side, baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you want
And if only you could see into me
[Chorus]
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
[Verse 2]
When you're on the outside, baby
And you can't get in
I will show you
You're so much better than you know
When you're lost and you're alone
And you can't get back again
I will find you
Darling, and I will bring you home
And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time, you'll be fine
[Verse 3]
You think I'd leave your side, baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
And if only you could see into me
[Chorus]
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there
By your side, baby
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there
By your side, baby
Hunt Me
Haunt me in my dreams
If you please
Your breath is with me now
And always
It's like a breeze
[Chorus: Sade]
So, should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me
[Instru Solo: Matthewman]
[Verse II: Sade]:
And if you want to sleep
I'll be quiet
Like an angel (like an angel)
As quiet as your soul could be
If you only knew
You had a friend like me...
[Chorus: Sade]
So, should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me
When Am I Going To Make a Living
Ooh, ha-ha
Aha, mmh
When am I gonna make a living? Ooh
It's gonna take a while before I give in
See the people fussing and thieving
While the sharks are wheeling and dealing
Gotta look up and tell yourself
There's no end to what you can do
They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to
This is time to start believing in yourself
Put the blame on no one else
When am I gonna make a living? Ooh
It's gonna take a while before I give in
See the people fussing and stealing
Too many lies, no one is achieving
Haven't I told you before
We're hungry for a life we can't afford?
There's no end to what you can do
If you give yourself a chance to prove
We're hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
We're hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Oh there's no end to what you can do
They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to
Oh start believing in yourself
Put the blame on no one else
Not gonna give in
hungry but we won't give in
When am I gonna make a living? ooh
It's gonna take a while before I give in, yes it is
I'm sick and tired of scratching a living
I am hungry but I'm not gonna give in, no
We're hungry but we won't give in (not gonna give in)
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in (not gonna give in)
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we won't give in
Hungry but we're gonna win
Love Affair With Love
You play a love affair with life
You stay and dance with every night
The moments from dawn to dusk
You chase
I am lost now
Where do I stand
In the race?
You play to empty eyes in crowded bars
I can't believe we've come this far
Yet got nowhere.
What is there left for me in this?
Every time you play is your first kiss.
Hmm&
I'm not a pass-time
I'm not your pass-time
Don't play around with me
You can't play me
I'm not a melody
Don't play 'round with me&
Don't play 'round with me
Cause I'm not a pass-time
I'm not your pass-time
Don't play around with me
You can't play me
I'm not a melody
I'm not a melody
I'm not a melody
You can't play me
I'm not a melody
King Of Sorrow
I'm crying everyone's 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 nothin' would change, nothin' would change at all
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothin's any good
The DJ's playin' 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, yeah
The King of Sorrow
I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay?
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothin's any good
The DJ's playin' 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?
I'm the King of Sorrow, yeah
The King of Sorrow
I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone
Can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothin's any good
I'm the King of Sorrow, yeah
King of Sorrow
King of Sorrow, oh
King of Sorrow, oh yeah
Of Sorrow
King of Sorrow, mm, yeah
King of Sorrow, oh, oh
King of Sorrow, oh, yeah
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
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
In there every word, oh oh oh oh
How could you have done that to us? (I send it all back to you)
I was loving you like a child
