That's ok, one , two, one, two, three, four
This a fine time to tell me
That you want to stay here
This is a fine time, for you to let me know
This is a fine time for you to let me know you want to play
This is a fine, fine time for you to let me know
You didn't waste any time, telling me how well you behaved
But you, but you sure as hell dropped me a line
'bout patience and danger when meeting a stranger
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This is a fine time
To tell me
To let me know
Oh yes darlin' it is
This is a fine time for you to let me know, let me know
This is this is this is, this is
A fine time
That you want to stay
This is a fine time
For you to let me know know this is a fine time for you to let me know
That you want to play
This is a fine time
This a fine for you to let me know
You didn't waste any time
In tellin' me how well you behaved
And you sure as hell dropped me a line
'bout patience and danger
When meeting a stranger
Without the ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
You were the ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This is a fine time
To tell me
Let me know you want to stay here
This is a fine time
For you to let me know

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.
