Smooth Operator (10-19-55) - Ruth Brown, Winley

Kiss me, baby

Don’t make me wait

Hug me, honey

Don’t you hesitate

Take my heart and

Don’t give it back

(Cha cha cha cha…)

I like it like that

You’re a smooth operator (uh huh)

You’re a gone alligator (oh, yeah)

Ooh, tell me, baby

Whatcha gonna do You got me sighing

Wishing for you

But I’m here to tell you

One natural fact

(Cha cha cha cha…)

I like it like that

You’ve got me yearning

Burning with desire

You set my heart

And soul on fire

You drive me wild

You make me shout

Have mercy, Mr. Percy

Now cut that out

You’re a smooth operator (uh huh)

Woo, you’re the end of Butter greater (oh, yeah)

When you kiss me, baby

My toenails curl

And I’m so glad

Just to be your girl

I’d be happy

In a one room shack

(Cha cha cha cha…)

Mmm, I like it like that

I like it like that

(Cha cha cha cha…)

I like it, I like it I like it…
