Smooth Talk
Navigating Deception: Unmasking the Message in Delbert McClinton's 'Smooth Talk'
Lyrics
I can help you get to heaven, right here on channel seven
I can guide you to a euphoric state, as if it were heaven, through channel seven.
Put your hands on the TV and pray
Place your hands on the TV screen and pray.
Check out that hot line on channel thirty-nine
Look at the enticing offer or opportunity on channel thirty-nine.
Might be your lucky day
It might be your fortunate day.
Just send a small donation directly to the station
Send a small amount of money directly to the TV station.
Get it in right away
Send the money promptly.
Don't let the smooth talk fool you
Be cautious of charming deception.
Don't let the sharks get to you
Don't allow cunning individuals to take advantage of you.
Don't let small minds out there on prime time
Beware of narrow-mindedness displayed during peak TV hours that might make you look foolish.
Make a chump out of you
They might make a fool of you.
Baby, don't let the smooth talk fool you
Don't be deceived by smooth-talking.
Hold on tight to your money, they're out to get you, honey
Hold onto your money; people are trying to deceive you, my dear.
They got a million ways
They have numerous strategies to deceive you.
They'll look into your eyes and tell you sweet lies
They'll look directly at you and tell convincing lies, bewildering your mind.
And put your mind in a daze
They'll confuse and disorient you.
Just like them bad rhymes on drugstore valentines
Similar to poorly composed verses on generic Valentine's cards, their words lack depth.
They ain't got nothin' to say
They don't have substantial content.
Don't let the smooth talk fool you
Stay vigilant against deceitful talk.
Honey, don't let the sharks get to you
Dear, don't let manipulative people take advantage of you.
Don't let some slow walkin', good lookin', fast talkin' man
Don't allow a charming yet insincere person to make a fool of you.
Make a chump out of you
They might deceive you.
Baby, don't let the smooth talk fool you
Don't be misled by persuasive speech.
You know I've been around awhile
I have experience and knowledge.
I got some information you can use
I possess information that might be beneficial for you.
With their eyes on the prize
They are solely focused on winning, and they'll deceive you with lies, which is the reality.
They'll fill you full of lies and baby that's the truth, oh, yeah
You got to be careful, baby
You need to be cautious, my dear.
Don't let the smooth talk fool you
Don't be deceived by slick talk.
Don't let the sharks get to you
Protect yourself from deceitful individuals.
Don't let some slow dancing Ricochet romancin' man
Don't allow a charming but insincere person to make a fool of you through a slow-paced yet erratic approach to love.
Make a chump out of you
They might deceive you.
Baby, don't let the smooth talk fool you
Don't be fooled by persuasive speech.
Don't let the sharks get to you
Guard yourself against deceptive individuals.
Don't let some slow walkin', good lookin', fast talkin' man
Don't allow a charming yet insincere person to make a fool of you.
Make a chump out of you
They might deceive you.
Baby, don't let the smooth talk fool you
Don't be misled by persuasive speech.
Oh, yeah
Come on now
-Alright
