He's dealing with the other side
And playing with all our hearts
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's bet in seven languages
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky
Force help him when he falls

Diamond life, lover boy
We came from space from the Empire's waste with no hyperdrive
City lights, a business flight
We require more than streetcar parts to get to base
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
The Falcon's repairs can't be left to chance
Don't ask me why I don't like this place

No need to ask
Lando's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Rim to rim, Rafa to Cloud City, quite a male
Across the galaxy comes Han Solo, friends for sale

Face to face, carbonite-cased
We shadowboxed and you double-crossed
Now it's Han we chase
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories with a cape lined in gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold

No need to ask
Lando's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Rim to rim, Rafa to Cloud City, quite a male
Across the galaxy comes Han Solo, friends for sale
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

[into oblivion]
