When Smokey Sings

(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)

Debonair lullabies in melodies revealed
In deep despair on lonely nights he knows just how you feel
The sliest rhymes, the sharpest suits in miracles made real

Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
You know you're right just to hold her tight
He soothes it right, makes it out of sight
And everything's good in the world tonight

When Smokey sings, I hear violins
When Smokey sings, I forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
The front door might slam, but the back door, it rings
And Smokey sings, he sings

Elegance in eloquence for sale, or rent, or hire
Should I say yes and match his best?
Then I would be a liar
Symphonies soothe the rage when lovers hearts catch fire

Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
You know you're right just to hold her tight
He soothes it right, makes it out of sight
And everything's good in the world tonight

When Smokey sings, I hear violins
When Smokey sings, I forget everything, yeah
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
Smashing the hell with the heaven she brings
Then Smokey sings, he sings

(Would it be true to say?)

Luther croons (ooh, oh)
Sly's the original originator
James screams (uh-uh)
Marvin was the only innovator (innovator)
But nothing can compare, nothing can compare
When Smokey sings

When Smokey sings, I hear violins
When Smokey sings, I forget everything
As she's packing her things (ooh-ooh)
As she's spreading her wings (ooh-ooh)
She threw back the ring (ooh-ooh)
When Smokey sings

Smokey sings
Smokey sings
