Robert Palmer Album

This suspense is killin' me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I've got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go

Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me, I love you only
I'd rather be lonely
Then happy with somebody else

You might find the night time
The right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
For just reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
To have it today to give back tomorrow
For your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!

Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap

You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!

Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map

You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map

And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

You're my thrill
You do something to me
You send chills right through me
When I look at you
'cause youre my thrill

You're my thrill
How my pulse increases
I just go to pieces
When I look at you
'cause you're my thrill

Nothing seems to matter
Here's my heart on a silver platter
Where's my will
Why this strange desire
That keeps mounting higher
When I look at you
I can't keep still
You're my thrill

Where's my will
Why this strange desire
That keeps mounting higher
When I look at you
I can't keep still
You're my thrill

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.

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Brr its cold….
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well…..I really shouldn't...alright
Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again….

Say you'll write your story -
Pictures, dreams and letters
Get your past existence off your mind
Life is such a miracle
Every day brings changes into your life

You could easily
Tell her you know the melody
You could get over her
You keep consoling her
Like a black and white movie

If you miss your aeroplane
Then you've got nowhere else to call
Just hearing your romantic schemes
Can set my heart to thundering
I long to see your bright and smiling eyes

Babe, the stars are sparkling in your tears
You'd better take my handkerchief and dry your eyes
Love is such a miracle
Every day brings brings brand new life

Why hesitate?
Why compromise?
You're a friend of mine
Suddenly I am here with you
I won't get over you -
I want control of you
You'll have to make your own move
Once I get hold of you
I won't let go of you
I'll miss my aeroplane too

Witchcraft Lyrics
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft

And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do

'cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo

When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you

Ooo-ooo-ooo…
What a little moonlight can do…
Ooo-ooo-ooo
What a little moonlight can do to you
You're in love
Your heart's a-flutterin' all day long
You only stutter ‘cause your poor tongue
Just will not utter the words I…love…you

Ooo-ooo-ooo
What a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
‘Til a little moonbeam comes peepin' through
You'll get bored
You can't resist her, but all you'll say
When you have kissed her
Is “ooo-ooo-ooo—what a little moonlight can do”

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain

Fate, light as air
So, I suppose
Chance follows you everywhere

No self-reproach
So self-contained
Say, how you move, love was true

Chance follows you everywhere

You told me there wasn't a lesson in lovin that you hadn't learned
Hey, hey - you don't say!
You told me that you could keep playin with fire without gettin burned
Oh, oh - is that so?

So you met someone who set you back on your heels - goody, goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody!
So you gave them your heart too, just like I gave mine to you
And he stuck it in his collection, section 92

So you lie awake just singin the blues all night - goody, goody!
And you think that love's a barrel of dynamite
Hooray, hallelujah, you had it comin to ya
Goody goody for me, goody goody for you
I hope you're satisfied you rascal you

So you lie awake just singin the blues all night - goody, goody!
And you think that love's a barrel of dynamite
Hooray, hallelujah, you had it comin to ya
Goody goody for him, goody goody for you
I hope you're satisfied you rascal you

Someone told someone, someone told you
But they wouldn't hurt you - not much
Since everyone tells the story
With his own little personal touch

Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dreams
Is over my head

Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of
Others you've heard
I haven't a chance

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I've been untrue?
Though we're apart, these words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But just do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will!

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I've been untrue?
Though we're apart, these words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But just do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will!

Every honey bee sighs with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

When we're passin by
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Don't buy sugar
I just have to touch your cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up

When I'm takin sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Every honey bee sighs with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

When we're passin by
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Don't buy sugar
I just have to touch your cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up

When I'm takin sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

I don't want my arms around you
No, not much
I don't bless the day I found you
No, not much
I don't need you like the stars don't need the sky
And I won't love you longer than the day I die

You don't please me when you squeeze me
No, not much
My head is spinning from your warm and tender touch
Darling, if you ever go
Could I take it? Maybe so
Oh, but would I like it?


No, not much
I don't need you like the stars don't need the sky
And I won't love you longer than the day I die

You don't kill me when you thrill me
No, not much
My head is spinning from your warm and tender touch
Darling, if you ever go
Could I take it? Maybe so
Oh, but would I like it?
No, not much
No, not much

Life's great, life's grand
Future, all planned
No more clouds in the sky
How am I ridin'? I'm ridin' high

Someone I love
Mad for my love
So long, Jonah, goodbye
How am I ridin'? I'm ridin' high

Floating on a starlit ceiling
Doting on the cards I'm dealing
Gloating, because I'm feeling so hap, happy, now
Slap, happy

So ring bells, beat gongs
Blow horns, sing songs
Our love never will die
How am I ridin'? I'm ridin' high

So ring bells, beat gongs
Blow horns, sing songs
Our love never will die
How am I ridin'? I'm ridin' high

How am I ridin'?
How am I ridin'?
How am I ridin'?
I'm ridin' high

When I come home in the evening
I wanna have my dinner hot
I wanna to smell that old pot roast
While its stewin in the pot
Want my bubble bath a-waitin
And my change of clothes laid out
When I ask you to light my cigarette
Gimme a smile and dont you pout

Hard head
Hard head
You heard just what I said
Fact is, if you dont straighten up baby
Theres gonna be some changes made

Well you wanna spend my money
Yet I wanna watch TV
You better smile and call me honey
And stay right on home with me
When i feel like kissin baby
You better feel like kissin too
If you freeze up on me momma
Im gonna have to freeze on you

Hard head
Hard head
You heard just what I said
If you dont straighten up baby
Theres gonna be some changes made

Now the preacher made us partners
And partners we will be
But if you dont wanna be partners
Well, thats alright with me
But if you walk out on me baby
I know that you walk right in

Hard head
Hard head
You heard just what I said
If you dont straighten up baby
Theres gonna be some changes made

You heard me right the first time
