Delbert McClinton › Lyrics › Smooth Talk

I can help you get to heaven, right here on channel seven
Put your hands on the TV and pray
Check out that hotline on channel thirty-nine
Might be your lucky day
Just send a small donation directly to the station
Get it in right away

Don't let the smooth talk fool you
Don't let the sharks get to you
Don't let small minds out there on prime time
Make a chump out of you
Baby, don't let the smooth talk fool you

Hold on tight to your money, they're out to get you, honey
They got a million ways
They'll look into your eyes and tell you sweet lies
And put your mind in a daze
Just like them bad rhymes on drugstore valentines
They ain't got nothin' to say

Don't let the smooth talk fool you
Honey, don't let the sharks get to you
Don't let some slow walkin', good lookin', fast talkin' man
Make a chump out of you
Baby, don't let the smooth talk fool you

You know I've been around awhile
I got some information you can use
With their eyes on the prize
They'll fill you full of lies and baby that's the truth, oh, yeah

You got to be careful, baby

Don't let the smooth talk fool you
Don't let the sharks get to you
Don't let some slow dancing Ricochet romancin' man
Make a chump out of you

Baby, don't let the smooth talk fool you
Don't let the sharks get to you
Don't let some slow walkin', good lookin', fast talkin' man
Make a chump out of you
Baby, don't let the smooth talk fool you

Oh, yeah
Come on now
Alright
