You told me there wasn’t a lesson in lovin that you hadn’t learned
Hey, hey - you don’t say!
You told me that you could keep playin with fire without gettin burned
Oh, oh - is that so?

So you met someone who set you back on your heels - goody, goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody!
So you gave them your heart too, just like I gave mine to you
And he stuck it in his collection, section 92

So you lie awake just singin the blues all night - goody, goody!
And you think that love’s a barrel of dynamite
Hooray, hallelujah, you had it comin to ya
Goody goody for me, goody goody for you
I hope you’re satisfied you rascal you

So you lie awake just singin the blues all night - goody, goody!
And you think that love’s a barrel of dynamite
Hooray, hallelujah, you had it comin to ya
Goody goody for him, goody goody for you
I hope you're satisfied you rascal you

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.
