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)
