Smooth Operator: Navigating Love's Intricacies
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like I'm the topic of discussion
Sometimes, I feel like people are discussing me.
Heart beating to an intimate percussion
My heart beats to a private rhythm.
I fantasize with the eyes staring down at the floor
I daydream with my eyes focused on the ground.
Lifestyle has me chasing after nothing
My lifestyle has me pursuing things without real value.
To be fair, I really kinda love it
However, I genuinely enjoy this lifestyle.
And I keep, and I keep, and I keep coming back for more
I repeatedly come back for more of this lifestyle.
Cause I'm a smooth operator
I present myself as a smooth operator.
On the outside
Externally, I appear composed and slick.
I'm a smooth operator
I am projecting an image of being skilled and efficient.
And I know that it's all skin deep
I acknowledge that it's only a surface-level image.
But it's the same damn thing, every single week
Yet, the routine remains the same each week.
I swear to God it's such a chore
Expressing myself feels like a burdensome task.
Just to only speak
Merely speaking becomes a challenging effort.
But you won't notice anything
Despite this, others may not notice my struggles.
If you're looking at me
If you observe me superficially, everything seems normal.
Cause I'm a smooth operator
Continuing to project the smooth operator image.
On the outside
Outwardly, I maintain the appearance of being composed.
I'm a smooth operator
Reiterating the projection of being a smooth operator.
But I'm scared to walk
Despite this, there's an internal fear of taking action.
I'm scared to talk
Apprehension about speaking and walking persists.
But if you see me, you won't notice
However, if you see me, these fears may not be evident.
On the outside I look
Externally, I appear as if I am a smooth operator.
Like I'm a smooth operator
Reaffirming the external appearance of being composed.
Cause I'm a smooth operator
Emphasizing the projection of being a smooth operator.
On the outside
Outwardly, I maintain the appearance of being composed.
I'm a smooth operator
Reiterating the projection of being a smooth operator.
But I'm scared to walk
Despite this, there's an internal fear of taking action.
I'm scared to talk
Apprehension about speaking and walking persists.
But if you see me, you won't notice
However, if you see me, these fears may not be evident.
On the outside I look
Externally, I appear as if I am a smooth operator.
Like I'm a smooth operator
Reaffirming the external appearance of being composed.
