You overwhelm me
When you move your body next to mine
Won't you tell me
How you always know what's on my mind

It's a fever you know how to soothe
And a calm contentment
Only you can get to

You overwhelm me
Oh babe I think you look so fine

I may be turned around
You'll show me the way
I may be tired of trying
You'll show me the light of day
My imagination is fired
I had only dreamt love could be so inspired

You overwhelm me
When you move your body next to mine
It's a fever you know how to soothe
And a calm contentment
Only you can get to

You overwhelm me, baby
You fill my soul with desire
Only fools aren't afraid to be burned by fire
You overwhelm me
When you move your body next to mine
Won't you tell me
Oh babe I think you look so fine

You overwhelm me yeah
Won't you tell me
How you always know what's on my mind

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.
