Pain in my heart
 Pain in my soul
 The kind of pain I pray that you
 Will never know.

 There ain't no right
 There ain't no wrong
 You never know just what to feel
 Or for how long
 Say you're a smooth operator
 You keep your motor clean
 Sooner or later it bring you to your knees.

 When you find love
 Stand by for pain
 When you find love
 Stand by for pain
 Stand by for pain.

 You never know
 When it will choose
 But you can bet the bank on this boy
 You're gonna lose.

 You got no choice
 You got no say
 There's ain't a chance in hell of leaving
 You better pray.

 So if you think you're the exception
 You think you'll walk away
 Don't fall for that deception
 Everybody's got to play.

 Say you're a smooth operator
 You keep your motor clean
 Sooner or later it bring you to your knees.
