You know I've been around awhile
And I've seen a lot of things
I'm not happy
Unless I'm on a wing
If we're gonna get together
Got to lay a few rules on down
'Cause without an understanding
True love will never be found
Life got rough edges, that's true
Why enhance your chances when you can keep it smooth?
Oh, yeah, it's got to be smooth
You know, I asked my grandaddy
How he lived so long?
He said, "There's one sure way to make life
Go so very wrong
If I wasn't so old
I'd get up and shout
Son, don't worry 'bout something
You can't do nothing about"
Well, life got rough edges, that's true
Why enhance your chances when you can keep it smooth?
Oh, babe, it's got to be smooth
Ain't nothing but a groove
It's got to be smooth
If you want drama
You're barkin' up the wrong tree
A little peace and understanding
Is good enough for me
You know life's got rough edges, that's true
Why enhance your chances when you can keep it smooth?
Oh, baby, it's got to be smooth
Ain't nothing but a groove, now, babe
Hey, it's got to be smooth
Oh, yeah
