You're such a rebel now can you remember when
They used to think you knew what added up to ten
You're sick and tired of taking punches to your side
Now you're gonna add it up to any number that you like

(tell me) what do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care

You thought there'd always be another shot to take
You crave attention now with every move you make
You like to advertise your interest in success
But you don't know on the score of who you're trying to impress

(tell me) what do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care

Baby yeah yeah
Everybody's gonna have their say
You can't please everyone
Why delay what you say
Let's decide to name the day

What do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care

No matter what you need I'll never be your fool
Do me a favour and I'll do the same for you
Go ahead do what you have to do
Don't worry if you should do it
Tell me you love me now
Oh girl I wish you would do it

What do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care

What do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care

Baby, yeah yeah
What do you care
'bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care

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.
