When I come home in the evening
I wanna have my dinner hot
I wanna to smell that old pot roast
While its stewin' in the pot

Want my bubble bath a-waitin'
And my change of clothes laid out
When I ask you to light my cigarette
Gimme a smile and don't you pout

Hard head
Hard head
You heard just what I said
Fact is, if you don't straighten up baby
There's gonna be some changes made

Well you wanna spend my money
Yet I wanna watch TV
You better smile and call me honey
And stay right on home with me

When I feel like kissin' baby
You better feel like kissin' too
If you freeze up on me momma
I'm gonna have to freeze on you

Hard head
Hard head
You heard just what I said
If you don't straighten up baby
There's gonna be some changes made

Now the preacher made us partners
And partners we will be
But if you don't wanna be partners
Well, that's alright with me
But if you walk out on me baby
I know that you walk right in

Hard head
Hard head
You heard just what I said
If you don't straighten up baby
There's gonna be some changes made

You heard me right the first time

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.
