In the coldest night, can you feel it
Burning bright or do you want to?
I'm the same as you, not quite sure
Just what to do or what to feel like
But everytime I hear your name
I wring my hands and mumble
I guess I'll try and write a letter
Say goodbye and just forget her

Ah, but you know I can't forget her 'cos
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Maybe it's you who's always right
Maybe it's me who's doing time

Well you should know there's a place
Inside my heart that's always empty
Oh and I'm not blind though I wish
I were sometimes to ease the anger
But everytime I hear your name
I wring my hands and mumble
You know the woman drive me crazy
When she makes it seems so easy
But you know I can't give in
Because

Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Maybe it's you who's always right
Maybe it's me who's doing time

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.
