Smooth

The song was written by Itaal Shur and Rob Thomas, the lead singer of the band Matchbox Twenty. Originally conceived by Shur as an instrumental titled Room 17, the demo was sent to Rob Thomas who wrote the lyrics and vocal melody, transforming it into the well-known Smooth. The song was recorded by Santana featuring Rob Thomas on vocals for the album Supernatural. The blend of rock and Latin music elements led to the songs massive success, aiding ... Santanas resurgence in popularity. Smooth became a hit in the late 90s, garnering several awards, including Grammys for Record of the Year. See more [+]

Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My munequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
Your my reason for reason
The step in my groove

And if you say this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it


I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word, I hear your name
calling me out
Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm from your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round

And if you say this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it


And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it

Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
