about

This should be called "Trouble with ex's",but that doesn't sound as good. Let's just dedicate it to evil ex-girlfriends and boyfriends everywhere.


I bought a book called "Smooth Operators" by Richard Jarman for my friend Mike, it catalogs (and celebrates) the very worst male fashion trends of the 70's and 80's. This song is for Mike H. because he's our smooth operator.

lyrics

When you left me
I said don't ever come back home
And since you left me
I got my life back all my own
And since you left me
All the skies are made of gold

When I first met you
I thought the sun shined in your eyes
Then I got to know you
And found the devil in disguise
You had a hold on my heart and soul
And I don't need them anymore

So I learned my lesson
Somethings are too good to be true
but I was foolish
I did not know what you could do
But all the warning signs tell of your kind
Rather be alone than be with you

Come to the pad
Of the smooth operator
Lay down you head
With the smooth operator
Everything is true what they said
About the smooth operator
So get into bed
With the smooth operator

Submit to all of his charms

you will be glad you met
The smooth operator
Oh you will be sad
When you leave the smooth operator
So make sure you come back
To the smooth operator
But please no personal check
For the smooth operator

Sit back relax in his arms
