Smooth
Santana feat. Matchbox Twenty Lyrics

Man, it's a hot one
It's very warm right now.

Like seven inches from the midday sun
The heat is intense and feels close, like only inches away from the sun.

Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
When you speak softly, it has a powerful impact and affects everyone around you.

But you stay so cool
Despite the heat and chaos around you, you remain calm and collected.

My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You are beautiful and unique, like a work of art from a specific place and culture.

You're my reason for reason
You give me purpose and make sense of my life.

The step in my groove
You complete me and make everything in my life flow smoothly.

And if you said this life ain't good enough
If you ever felt unsatisfied with our life together,

I would give my world to lift you up
I would do everything in my power to make you happy and fulfill your needs.

I could change my life to better suit your mood
Your happiness is my top priority, so I would make whatever changes necessary to ensure that.

Because you're so smooth
You are effortless and easy-going, which makes life with you a joy.

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Being with you is like the calming ebb and flow of the ocean at night.

Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
The feeling of peace and tranquility I get from being with you is the same as the feeling of the ocean under the moon.

You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Your love is effortless and easy-going, which makes being with you such a pleasure.

Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
I want your love to be sincere and genuine. If it's not, then it's not worth pursuing.

But I'll tell you one thing
There's one thing I want you to know.

If you would leave it'd be a crying shame
If you were to leave me, it would be a tragedy and I would be heartbroken.

In every breath and every word
Your presence is felt in everything around me, from the air I breathe to the words I speak.

I hear your name calling me out
Your voice and essence are so present in my life that even in silence, I feel like you're calling out to me.

Out from the barrio
You come from a specific neighborhood or culture that brings a unique richness and flavor to our lives together.

You hear my rhythm on your radio
My love and energy are felt wherever you go, like a tune on the radio that always makes you feel good.

You feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow
The world can be chaotic and fast-paced, but with me, you feel the gentle and slow rotation of the earth that brings peace and calmness.

It's turning you round and round
Being with me is like being held in a slow and steady spin, where every moment feels like it's going somewhere, even if it's just around in circles.

Or else forget about it
If it's not sincere, then it's not worth the effort or the heartache.

Oh, let's don't forget about it
Let's not forget how important being genuine and sincere is in our relationship.

Give me your heart, make it real
I want your love to be true, pure, and genuine.

Let's don't forget about it (hey)
Let's not forget to prioritize love and sincerity in our relationship.

Let's don't forget about it (now, oh, now, oh)
Let's keep reminding ourselves of the importance of being genuine and sincere in our love.

Let's don't forget about it (now, now, now, oh)
Let's constantly reaffirm our commitment to one another and our genuine love.

Let's don't forget about it (hey, now, now, oh)
Let's not forget the hard work it takes to maintain a genuine and sincere relationship.

Let's don't forget about it (hey, hey, hey)
Let's always prioritize love, sincerity, and honesty in our relationship.
