Smooth
Matchbox 20 (Ft. Santana) Lyrics

Man, it's a hot one
The temperature is high and the weather is hot.

Like seven inches from the midday sun
The heat is intense and feels close to the sun.

Well, I hear you whispering in the words, to melt everyone
The singer hears the woman's words and they seem to affect everyone around them.

But you stay so cool
Despite her words having an effect, the woman remains calm and composed.

My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem, Mona Lisa
The woman is being compared to a doll, to the neighborhood of Spanish Harlem, and to the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci.

You're my reason for reason
The woman is the motivation behind the singer's actions and thoughts.

The step in my groove
The woman is an integral part of the singer's rhythm and music.

And if you said this life ain't good enough
If the woman were to express displeasure with their life, the singer would do everything in their power to improve it.

I would give my world to lift you up
The singer would do anything to make the woman happy and fulfilled.

I could change my life to better suit your mood
The singer would take action to alter their habits and preferences to match the woman's if it would make her happy.

Because you're so smooth
The woman is so effortless and charismatic; she is the perfect match for the singer.

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Their love is as deep and vast as the ocean, comparable to the moon's gravitational pull.

Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
The love the singer feels for the woman is the same as the emotion she emanates.

You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
The woman has a way of loving that feels effortless and natural.

Give me your heart, make it real or else forget about it
The singer is seeking unconditional love or nothing at all.

But I'll tell you one thing
The singer is about to make a significant statement.

If you would leave it would be a crying shame
If the woman were to leave, it would be devastating and regrettable.

In every breath and every word
The woman is ever-present in the singer's thoughts and words.

I hear your name calling me out
The woman's presence feels like a call that the singer cannot ignore.

Out from the barrio
The woman's influence is felt from beyond the borders of the barrio (neighborhood).

You hear my rhythm on your radio
The woman is in tune with the singer's music, and it resonates with her.

You feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow
The woman feels the subtle and gentle changes in the world like the turning of the world at its own pace.

It's turning you round and round
The woman's presence feels like the world revolving, pulling her in different directions.

Or else forget about it
If the woman cannot give unconditional love, then the singer is better off without it.

Let's not forget about it
The singer is urging the woman not to forget their love.
