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 good night's not enough for you
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
Whoa, 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 trying to be nice
Only trying 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
Whoa, 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
Whoa, I didn't mean to turn you on

Didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on

Robert Palmer

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter[1] and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Palmer’s involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered four decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.
