MUSIC: Smooth Operator by Sade
# Diamond life, lover boy
# He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
# City lights and business nights
# When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
# No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
# When sentiment is left to chance
# No place to be ending but somewhere to start
# No need to ask, he's a smooth operator
# Smooth operator
# Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
# Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
# Face-to-face, each classic case
# We shadow box and double cross
# Yet need the chase
# A licence to love, insurance to hold
# Melts all your memories and change into gold
# His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold
# No need to ask, he's a smooth operator
# Smooth operator
# Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
# Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
# Smooth operator
# Smooth operator. #
APPLAUSE
Our world is filled with love
It's a wonderful sight
Being in love is everyone's heart's delight
But that look of love isn't on my face
No, no
That enchanted feeling has been replaced
# Yeah
# As I walk this land with broken dreams
# I have visions of so many things
# But happiness is just an illusion
# Filled with sadness and confusion
# What becomes of the brokenhearted?
# Who had the sweet love that's now departed?
# I know I've got to find
# Some kind of peace of mind
# Maybe
# Oh, yeah, yeah
# The roots of love grow all around
# But for me they come a-tumblin' down
# Every day, heartaches seem to grow a little stronger
# I can't stand this pain much longer, baby
# I walk in shadows
# Searching for light
# Cold and alone
# No comfort in sight
# Hoping and praying and I need someone to care
# Always moving, girl And going nowhere
# What becomes of the brokenhearted?
# Who had a sweet love that's now departed?
# I know I've got to find
# Some kind of peace of mind
# Help me, please
# I'm searching Though I don't succeed
# For someone's love That's such a growing need
# All is lost
# There's no place for beginning, oh no
# All that's left for me is an unhappy ending, baby
# What becomes of the brokenhearted?
# Who had the sweet love that's now departed?
# I know I've got to find
# Some kind of peace of mind
# I'll be searching everywhere
# Just to find someone to care
# I'll be looking every day
# Ooh, I know I'm gonna find a way
# I need you, baby
# Need you, baby, need you, baby
# Need you right now, baby
# Need you, baby... #
Come on!
# Yeah, yeah, yeah. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# If I were a boy
# Even just for a day
# I'd roll outta bed in the morning
# And throw on what I wanted
# Then go
# Drink beer with the guys
# And chase after girls
# I'd kick it with who I wanted
# And I'd never get confronted for it
# Cos they'd stick up for me
# If I were a boy
# I think I could understand
# How it feels to love a girl
# I swear I'd be a better man
# I'd listen to her
# Cos I know how it hurts
# When you lose the one you wanted
# Cos you've taken her for granted
# And everything you had
# Got destroyed
# If I were a boy
# I would turn off my phone
# Tell everyone it's broken
# So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone
# I'd put myself first
# And make the rules as I go
# Cos I know that she'd be faithful
# Waitin' for me to come home
# To come home
# It's a little too late
# For you to come back
# Say it's just a mistake
# Think I'd forgive you like that
# If you thought I would wait for you
# You thought wrong
# But you're just a boy
# You don't understand
# Yeah, you don't understand
# How it feels to love a girl someday
# You'd wish you were a better man
# You don't listen to her
# You don't care how it hurts
# No, no, no
# Until you lose the one you wanted
# Cos you've taken her for granted
# And everything you have
# Got destroyed
# But you're just a boy. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I'm going under and this time I fear there's no-one to save me
# This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
# I need somebody to heal
# Somebody to know
# Somebody to have
# Somebody to hold
# It's easy to say
# But it's never the same
# I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
# Now the day bleeds
# Into nightfall
# And you're not here
# To get me through it all
# I let my guard down
# And then you pulled the rug
# I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
# I'm going under and this time I fear there's no-one to turn to
# This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
# Now, I need somebody to know
# Somebody to heal
# Somebody to have
# Just to know how it feels
# It's easy to say but it's never the same
# I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
# Now the day bleeds
# Into nightfall
# And you're not here
# To get me through it all
# I let my guard down
# And then you pulled the rug
# I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
# And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
# I fall into your arms
# I'll be safe in your sound till I come back around
# But now the day bleeds
# Into nightfall
# And you're not here
# To get me through it all
# I let my guard down
# And then you pulled the rug
# I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
# But now the day bleeds
# Into nightfall
# And you're not here
# To get me through it all
# I let my guard down
# And then you pulled the rug
# I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
# I let my guard down
# And then you pulled the rug
# I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved. #

# Don't know when I've been so blue
# Don't know what's come over you

# And don't it make my brown eyes blue
# I'll be fine when you're gone
# I'll just cry all night long
# Say it is all true, ooh
# And don't it make my brown eyes blue
# Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
# Give me no reasons, give me alibis
# Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
# Say anything, but don't say goodbye
# I didn't mean to treat you bad
# Didn't know just what I had
# But, honey, now I do, ooh
# And don't it make my brown eyes

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# He came from somewhere back in her long ago
# The sentimental fool don't see
# Tryin' hard to recreate what had yet to be created
# Once in her life she musters a smile
# For his nostalgic tale
# Never coming near what they wanted to say
# Only to realise
# It never really was
# She had a place in his life
# He never made her think twice
# As he rises to her apology
# Anybody else would surely know
# He's watching her go
# But what a fool believes
# He sees no wise man has the power
# To reason away
# What seems
# To be
# Is always... Better than nothing
# Nothing at all
# Keeps sending him
# Somewhere back in her long ago
# Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
# Some day, somewhere
# She will return
# She had a place in his life
# He never made her think twice
# As he rises to her apology
# Anybody else would surely know
# He's watching her go
# But what a fool believes Oh, no
# He sees Yeah
# Is always... Better than nothing
# Nothing at all
# What a fool believes, I believe that you've never gone away. #
Thank you.

# Just yesterday morning
# They let me know you were gone
# Suzanne, the plans we made put an end to you
# I walked out on the morning
# And I wrote down this song
# I just can't remember who to send it to
# I've seen fire and I've seen rain
# I seen sunny days that I thought would never end
# I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
# But I always thought that I'd see you again
# Won't you look down upon me, Jesus?
# You got to help me make a stand
# You just got to see me through another day
# My body's aching and my time is at hand
# And I won't make it any other way
# I've seen fire and I've seen rain
# I seen sunny days that I thought would never end
# I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
# But I always thought that I'd see you again
# Been walking my mind to an easy time
# With my back turned towards the sun
# Lord knows when the cold wind blows
# It'll turn your head around now
# There's hours of time on the telephone line
# To talk about things to come
# Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
# Oh, now I've seen fire and I've seen rain
# I seen sunny days that I thought would never end
# I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
# But I always thought that I'd see you somehow
# One more time again now
# I thought I'd see you one more time again
# There's just a few things coming my way this time around
# Oh, now I thought I'd see you,
# I thought I'd see you Fire and rain
# La-la-la, la-la-la-la
# La-la-la-la-la. #
