Robert Palmer Album

You want her attention
Well you'll have to wait
She's in the gymnasium
Reducing weight

In shorts of a leotard
Despite her age
The girl's gonna exercise
Your life away

Sister don't you jog it all away
Sister don't you run it all off
Sister don't you jog it all away
Sister don't you rough it all up

What an idea of fun
To get it on the run
I don't know why you do
What has come over you?

The style in the discotheque
Is cheap and nice
Please tell Ms Fonda
To reduce her price

Anorexia nervosa mannequin
All this physicality
Will wear you thin

Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?
Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?

She used to yield like flesh
Now it's all muscle
She used to yield like flesh
Now it's all muscle

I don't know why you do
What has come over you
What an idea of fun
To get it on the run

Rollerskates and vitamins and diet plans
Academic discipline will ruin your hands
We used to ride tandem and have lots of fun
But bicycles for exercise are made for one

When I get aroused, I can make a headline
When you play it loud, I can feel the bassline
I only caught a glimpse, I only saw your outline
Loved you ever since, I fell for you from behind

(chorus)
Running round barefooted
Gonna catch you up again
Running round barefooted
Gonna catch you up again

Too much alcohol, couldn't get your name right
Didn't care at all, seein' you in the daylight
When your daddy calls, I was on the breadline
Didn't care at all, see you at the deadline

(chorus)

Say hello, say hello

I've been sold on a long lost love that will never die
I've been told it'll die but I don't know when
Don't forget your goals, altering your hemline
No good for your soul, no good for your waistline
Look in your heart, look in your mind's eye
Tear it all apart, watch the fashions fly by

Say hello, say hello

(repeat chorus)

Tried the phone, oh whats the use?
I know I won't get through to you
First a note, then a call
Only yesterday I was yours now
Every day I want you more.
Close my eyes, oh there you are
Stop before we go too far
Every move I recall,
Shouldn't dream that you're here because it
Only makes me want you more.
How could I forget you?
All the reasons we've seen through
Didn't see, never thought, no sense looking back because it
Only makes me want you more.
Our emotions in store,
All the time we're apart: ignore
It only makes me want you more.
Please don't think I never heard:
I remember every word
Every move I recall
Shouldn't dream that you're here at all it
Only makes me want you more.
Every day, hey, every room
Sadness makes the vainest fools
Whose to say what's in store?
Just remember I just adore you
Every day I want you more, oh.

Whoa, dance for me
Dance for me, dance for me
Whoa, dance for me

My heart is approving
What your body can express
You say more when you're moving
Than your words or style of dress
Hey, I don't know your language
But I hear every word

Whoa, dance for me
See what ... [?]

Till you fall, till you fall for
Till you fall for me (repeat)

Girl, I'm at your mercy
When you turn with so much grace
Dance for me, Salome
Weave me into your embrace
Hey, you can steal a dancefloor
Just like you steal into my dreams
Oh, dance for me
Show me what you mean
Oh wee, dance for me
I want you to show why
You want me to know

Hey, you hold me spellbound
Like a serpent in a trance
Dance for me, dance for me, baby
Show me how you dance
Hey, I don't know your language
But I know what you mean
Oh, dance for me, dance the unforseen
I see you out there on the floor
Dancing for me

Till you want, till you want
Till you want me
Till you fall, till you fall for
Till you fall for me

Day by day and night by night
I feel you in my mind
It happens all the time
You know the day dreams stop
My heart beats on
I can't take it any more
It's you I live for
You are in my system
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
You oooohhhh you're in my system, system
Don't you, Don't you, don't you know that, babe.
I will keep on pushing, pushing, pushing
Until I get through
My main objective baby is to get to you
To turn your mind around
I know will take time
But you know I can wait, now
You're on my mind
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
Got me burning, I'm on fire
You, you're in my system
You're everything I need
You, oooohhhh, you're in my system, system
Don't you, Don't you, don't you know that, babe.
It's a romantic vision of me and you
It happens all the time
My dreams are filled with you
There's no doubt in my mind
That I'll be true baby
You know I'll take you out
And I'll keep lovin' you
Oh baby you are in my system,
I just want you to know that
You are in my system
Cut me right down to the wire
You, ooohh, you're in my system
Got me burning I'm on fire
You, you're in my system
Can't make believe
You, you're in my system
You're everything I need
You, Ooohh, you're in my system
I just want you to know that
You, you're my system
Got me burning I'm on fire
You, you're in my system

You don't know where to look
You feel upside down
Her number's in the book
You could turn her down
It's unfair, she answers your prayer
You never gonna ask again
She's on tap, you never relax
You'd trade cut you don't know when
It's just typical of a love affair
You cut her no slack, she never talks back
She makes you come right away
You both unpack ignoring the fact
Your planning every word you say

It's difficult to imagine why
You're so critical, have another try
How you burn, she can't come out to play
No one warned you love could hurt this way

You think you're off the hook
But she can turn you 'round
She says the table's booked
You're about to drown

It's just typical of a love affair
Such a ritual, happens everywhere
I will never come 'round to your door
I know you won't be there anymore

You made your bed, you came and did
You got more than you bargained for
You over react, you both step back
You feel like you've been through a wall

It's not difficult to imagine why
It's just difficult to be satisfied

Say you will, say you will
Please surrender to me
Say you will, say you will

Please say that I can take you this moment
Please say you'll let me take you for my wife
Our love will grow tonight if you will
Give me your answer, give me your answer

You will honour and obey me
I will love and cherish you
For poor or richer, darling
Forsaking everyone but you

Say you will, say you will
Please surrender to me
Say you will, say you will

Our love will grow tonight if you will
Give me your answer, give me your answer
With this body I thee worship
Let them forever hold their peace
For worse or for better darling
Only unto you as long as you may live

I will love and comfort you, yeah
If you only say that you will
Take me illegal or lawful
To have and to hold from this day forward

Please surrender to me
Say you will, say you will
Give me your answer, give me your answer
Please say that I can take you this moment
Please say that I can trust you tonight

Please surrender to me
Say you will, say you will
Give me your answer, give me your answer

Has there ever come a time, when you fell real nice
And you want to let someone know that you really appreciate them?
All you have to do is moan a little bit for me,
It goes something like this
Ooooh, ooooho, oooooh, oooooho.

You see, no time for wasting, baby,
We're gone all through those moves
I'm offering satisfaction, darling,
Girl, I'm giving you all my love,
Anytime is the right time, baby,
Come on and, take my heart
It's all yours if you want it, baby,
My heart is tearing all apart, I say

Ooooh (you can have it)
Yeah (if you want it)
Come and get it, baby,
But if you want it (you can have it)
Come and get it, girl, yeah (if you want it), yeah.
See darling - there's no time for wasting, baby,
Come on please, make up your mind.
Good loving is so pleasing, baby,
Girl, I'm giving you all my time.
You can have it if you want it
Just come and get it, and, baby, it's yours, yeah.
I've got it to give and if you want it.
I know that you're gonna love it, so come on, girl.
Oh, I knew you'd like it,
Oh baby, you got me saying something like
Oooooh, ooooho.

One night while I was sleeping, baby,
Had a dream of you and I,
Found myself asking you, baby,
Take my hand and be my wife.

There's no time for wasting, baby,
Cause we've gone all through these moves
Cause I'm offering satisfaction, darling,
Girl, I'm giving you all my love.

You can have it, yeah, if you want it.
You can have it (baby, you really want my loving)
If you want it (it's all yours, baby)
You can have it any time of the day if you want it.

Don't matter what place it is, baby, you can get it, baby.
You can have it (come on, girl, and get it)
If you want it you can have it
(cause I will make you feel alright)
If you want it (can't you tell that)
You can have it (take my heart)
If you want it (come on, darling)
You can have it (take my heart)
If you want it (satisfaction guaranteed)
You can have it (take my heart)
If you want it you can have it (take my heart)
If you want it.

When I held you last night
Aah, how I loved you
I was unable then to say what I mean
Everything that I say and do
Everything that I am includes you
Everything seems so clear, now that I love you
Come on, there's no time to stop
Baby, what you waiting for

You were made for me, tailor made for me, yeah
Darling, it's not our choice, who we fall for
Come on girl, take my hand, see what we do
There are some things you can't ignore
Love and devotions won't conform
But it's not up to me or up to you
Vanity's, ideals demand were satisfied
With what love plans

You were made for me, tailor made for me
There are something you can't ignore
Love and emotions won't conform
So let me tell you first-hand how much I love you
Fantasy may be grand but it's above you
Say you like the real thing more
Baby, what you waiting for

You were made for me, tailor made for me
You were made for me, custom built for me, yeah
You were made for me, custom made for me
You were made for me, tailor made for me

(translation to English)
They say a man's best friend is his horse
But I say it is his gun
For what can a horseman do without a gun?
I sold my silver barrelled gun
And bought a brocade gown for my beloved
But she could not accept it
She returned it
Now I have no gun and no love

No, but with wet lashes and a charming smile
I could tell her heartache was more terrible than mine
I could stand the heartache
If I could see you again
Until then, I am alone, city to city
Walking the streets
With a heavy heart.
