Smooth

Carlos Santana

(as performed by Carlos Santana)

Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun 
Well, I hear you whisper
And the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
 
My Muñequita (Connie Joins)
My Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason 
The step in my groove

And if you said 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 loving that could be so smooth
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

[2 lines from guitar]

I'll tell you one thing 
Well, if you would leave 
It'd 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 on your radio 
And you feel the turning of 
The world so soft and slow 
It's turning you' round and 'round 

And if you said 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 loving that could be so smooth 
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

[1 line of low tom toms]
[guitar solo a la Carlos, up high]

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 could be so smooth 
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

Or else forget about it [x4]

Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

Or else forget about it [ad infinitum in fade]
