Not a word in your room
I watch your hand
Stroking your hair
You know I look
You don't watch me

Does the time stand still?
You move so slow
I hear you softly sigh for me -
Only for me
I know you - let me see
I see your kiss
Painted for me
You know I do
But you don't watch me

Magificent
Immodesty
I place myself at your command
Give it to me

Just a word in your ear
I feel your arms around me
You want me there
I want you here
I meet you now -
You meet me too
You take a kiss
So tenderly from me

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.
