Pain in my heart
Pain in my soul
The kind of pain I pray that you
Will never know
There ain't no right
There ain't no wrong
You never know just what to feel
Or for how long
Say you're a smooth operator
You keep your motor clean
Sooner or later it'll bring you to your knees
When you find love
Stand by for pain
When you find love
Stand by for pain
Stand by for pain
You never know
When it will choose
But you can bet the bank on this boy
You're gonna lose
You got no choice
You got no say
There ain't a chance in hell of leavin'
You better pray
So if you think you're the exception
You think you'll walk away
Don't fall for that deception
Everybody's got to play
(REPEAT CHORUS)
say you're a smooth operator
You keep your motor clean
Sooner or later it'll bring you to your knees
(REPEAT CHORUS)
