Robert Palmer Album

No haste, no pause, no rest
Girl remember to remember
Love wont take second best
Remember to remember
Heartache and pain wont last like your old habits do
Catch up with your past
Before it catches up with you

Your dreams are not what they were
Your heart danced to a different tune
I wont forget my word
I'll remember to remember too

Your pride will overlook your lesson when you fall
Leave no stone unturned, don't let it slip beyond recall

Love starts to last when you do the things that you neglected to
Forever haunting your past will blind you to the love you do

No haste, no pause, no rest
Girl remember to remember
Love wont take second best
Remember to remember
Heartache and pain wont last like your old habits do
Catch up with your past
Before it catches up with you

Your dreams are not what they were
Your heart danced to a different tune
I wont forget my word
I'll remember to remember too

Sneakin' sally through the alley
Sneakin' sally through the alley
Sneakin' sally through the alley
Trying to keep her out of sight
Sneakin' sally through the alley
When up pops the wife

I said, ah I can't find nothing wrong with being friends cos sometimes
She lets me use the car
She said if you can't find nothing wrong with your mind
You'd better find something wrong with her, her
So I began to explain ah that it wasn't just ah what she thought
I'd better find something to do with my time
The fact is I've just been caught

Sneakin' sally through the alley
Sneakin' sally through the alley
Trying to get away clean
Sneakin' sally through the alley
When up pops the queen

Trying to double talk, get myself in trouble talk, catching myself in lies
Catching myself in lies
Mama just looked at me as if I was, ah, crazy
And didn't even bat an eye
So I began to try to explain, ah that it just wasn't what she thought
I'd better find something to do with my time
The fact is ah just been caught, just been caught,
Sneakin, sneakin, sneakin,

Trying to talk doubletalk, get myself in trouble talk
Catching myself in lies, catching myself in lies
Mama just looked at me as if I was crazy
She didn't even bat an eye

Sneakin' sally through the alley with sally
Sneakin' sally through the alley with sally
Sneakin sally through the alley
Sneakin sally through the alley
Sneakin sally through the alley

In the coldest night, can you feel itBurning bright or do you want to?I'm the same as you, not quite sureJust what to do or what to feel likeBut everytime I hear your nameI wring my hands and mumbleI guess I'll try and write a letterSay goodbye and just forget her
Ah, but you know I can't forget her 'cosMaybe it's you, maybe it's meMaybe it's you who's always rightMaybe it's me who's doing time

Well you should know there's a place Inside my heart that's always emptyOh and I'm not blind though I wishI were sometimes to ease the angerBut everytime I hear your nameI wring my hands and mumbleYou know the woman drive me crazyWhen she makes it seems so easyBut you know I can't give inBecause
Maybe it's you, maybe it's meMaybe it's you who's always rightMaybe it's me who's doing time

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

When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on
Now I bring you home
You tell me the night's not enough for you
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on
You read me wrong
I wasn't tryin' to lead you on
Not like you think
I didn't mean to turn you on
I know you
Expected a one-night-stand when I refused
I knew you wouldn't understand
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice
Only tryin' to be nice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
Hey, now why should I
Feel guilty 'cause I won't give
Guilty 'cause I won't give in
I didn't mean to turn you on
Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on
When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on
Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on

(Todd Rundgren)
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends?
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know, it's all gone
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends?
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends?
It's a strange sad affair
Sometimes seems that we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together
Dannana etc,
Can we still be friends
Can we still get together sometimes?
Hey babe, can we still go on?
We awoke from our dream,
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad, old song
Dannana etc, Can we still be friends

Let us put man and woman together
And see which one is smarter
Some say men but I say no
The women got the men like a puppet show

Ain't me, it's the people they say
The men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
Are smarter than the men in every way

That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter

A little boy sat down and cried
An old man passing asked him why
He said I can't do what the big boys do
Old man sat down and he cried, too

Ain't me, it's the people that say
The men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
Are smarter than the man in every way

That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter

It ain't me, it's the people that say
The men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
Are smarter than the men in every way

That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
Smarter than the men in every way

That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
Smarter than the men in every way

That's right
It's the people that say
The men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
Are smarter than the men in every way
That's right they're smarter

She knows what to say, she knows what to do
Every move she makes, she makes just for you
She knows just how to change your mind
You think you've pinned her down
She's got you undersigned

She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
She knows when to leave, she knows when to stay
When she takes her turn, she knows how to play
There's more, you haven't seen it all
You're going to have to learn to keep up with her

She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you

She knows just how to change your mind
You think you've pinned her down
She's got you undersigned
She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
Too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
She's too good to be true
Give credit where it's due

Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man upon his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can't be bought

Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kinda people
To make the world go 'round

Someone's looking for a lead
In his duty to a king or to a creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his life

There is no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge does not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every man's the same inside

Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go 'round

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

You know that love's the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul
Hey, and every man's the same
He wants the sunshine in his name

Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go 'round

Mmm, every kinda people
To make what life's about
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go 'round

I feel so lucky loving her
Tell me what else is magic for
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up in a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers
She's like a new girl everyday
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy loving her
(She trusts her intuition, that's in our best interest)
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She fills my heart with joy, she makes my day
(She make a difference, she had a smiling face)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand, to make me stay.
She's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once
Our love was unintentional
She says we're not responsible
She thinks with her chin up
She always makes uncommon sense
Always knows just what to say
She always takes me unawares
In less time than it takes to fall,
I'm here and there you are
We never fought it anyway
(She trusts her intuition, that's in our best interest)
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She fills my heart with joy, she makes my day
(She make a difference, she had a smiling face)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand, to make me stay.

We want the best of both worlds
We want it slow and hot
We like to taste revenge, yeah
But we can't waste the shot

We want to see from both sides
We like it cool and fast
We want to get it over
We like to make it last

Keep it on
It's getting closer
The best of both worlds
Double fun

We'll make the most, girl
To get the best of both worlds
We must obey the law
What good's a place to stand up
Without a place to fall?

Two and one
Fast and slow girl
The best of both worlds
Double fun
I'd like to now propose a toast
To the best of both worlds

I think about the war that is no fight at all
I think about the peace that is a fight for all
The best of both worlds
Keep it on
Fast and slow girl
The best of both worlds
Tight as a drum, loose as a gun holster
Yeah, it's getting closer

Why do we waste our breath, child
On what we like the most
Seeing as we've wound up here
We ought to do them both

Back and forth
We get the most
Yeah, the best of both worlds
South and north
I'd like to now propose a toast
To the best of both worlds
Two and one
Fast and slow girl
The best of both worlds
Double fun
We'll make the most girl to get the best of both worlds

Give me an inch, girl
Give me an inch, girl
Give me an inch, girl
Give me an inch, girl
My eyes show me more than I've seen
But unlike my poor heart they're not cautious
I got to thinking love was a dream
Misunderstanding my fortunes
I should have taken more heed of my heart
Telling me how to live
But if you give me an inch, girl
I'll give you a mile
Oh, I'll make it all worth while
And I'll make you see
Just how much you mean to me
Well ain't it easy to go head-over-heels
When you need the right person
You got to learn to smile about it
Nothing you do will feel certain
Here I stand with my heart in command
And it's you I want to be with
Give me an inch, girl
I'm in need of you
Don't leave me in the cold
When I want to trust in you
Don't turn me away
Life can be a worry
When it's all work and no play
Give me an inch, girl
I'll give you a mile
Oh, I'll make it all worth while
And I'll make you see
Just how much
Just how much you mean to me
Give me an inch,
I'll give you a mile
And I'll make you see
Just how much, just how much you mean to me
Give me an inch, girl
Oh , I'm in need of you
Don't leave me in the cold
When I want to trust in you

You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
I've got a thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing
And we'll light it.
In all this heat it's a job keeping cool
Oh yeah
And I could fry an egg on you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it

You're gonna get what's coming
You've been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you

I hope that you're half as intrepid
As you make out
More often than not, I'll bet
You never got what you asked for
Keep on pouring until you hear me shout
And turn up the sound
If you want me to drive any faster
Caution went out when you walked in the room
If it never came back it would be too soon

You're gonna get what's coming
You've been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you

You're gonna get what's coming
You've been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you

You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
You're gonna get what's coming
You've been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you

You're gonna get what's coming
You've been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you

You're gonna get what's coming
You've been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you

You're gonna get what's coming
You've been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you

I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me the sparkle
I was the best
I worked them all

New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

We opened doors by thinking
We went to sleep by dialing O
We drove to work by proxy
I bought my wife in just for show

New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

So I press C for comfort
I dream of wires, the old days
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me the sparkle
I was the best
I worked them all

New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

(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.
