I had the funky blues when they gave me The news My baby was leaving town They all laugh in my face sayin' I'm a disgrace Can't keep your woman down It was a fun enough ride and it took me Some time To get her under my skin But she's a mean machine run me all clean Took me to places I never been I had to give her up just to stay alive She was shakin' it it was makin' me lose My mind Smooth operator always on my mind Smooth operator caught my eye now I'm blind Infatuation I can't take no more Oh I'll walk out the door I got to pull myself up get back on top Before its too late When I see the boys they gonna make some noise This is what they'll say I get told you so watch your step Don't you know we made a bet sayin' you would lose She came out smokin' I was chokin' On my funky blues
