Smooth Operator
I've been staying late
I've been working through the night
So I check the time - I rub my eyes and wonder when you might
See what I've done
Or just come around again
Cause you occupy a space that should be held by a friend
Is there a wall between us?
I could see it from a distance
But I can't get a handle on
Just why you've been here for so long
We both know you never needed any assistance
Tell me what to think
Show me how to speak my mind
Show me how you seem to operate between every single line
That you draw for me
Every rule you set in place
Conveniently - has a stipulation for your case
Is there a wall between us?
I could see it from a distance
But I can't get a handle on
Just why you've been here for so long
We both know you never needed any assistance
(An imitation) Of what I want to see
(A re-creation) Right there in front of me
Ah keep your fame if it's all that you do
(An imitation) Of what I want to see
(A re-creation) Right there in front of me
Ah keep your fame
Ah keep your fame
Oh keep your fame if it's all that you do
I've been working through the night
So I check the time - I rub my eyes and wonder when you might
See what I've done
Or just come around again
Cause you occupy a space that should be held by a friend
Is there a wall between us?
I could see it from a distance
But I can't get a handle on
Just why you've been here for so long
We both know you never needed any assistance
Tell me what to think
Show me how to speak my mind
Show me how you seem to operate between every single line
That you draw for me
Every rule you set in place
Conveniently - has a stipulation for your case
Is there a wall between us?
I could see it from a distance
But I can't get a handle on
Just why you've been here for so long
We both know you never needed any assistance
(An imitation) Of what I want to see
(A re-creation) Right there in front of me
Ah keep your fame if it's all that you do
(An imitation) Of what I want to see
(A re-creation) Right there in front of me
Ah keep your fame
Ah keep your fame
Oh keep your fame if it's all that you do
