You naughty girl
So sharp and dry
Don't fill yourself with foolish pride
You wanted me to notice you
But when I came
You cut me

Why did you do it?
Why did you go and spoil the fun?
Why did you do it?
You need the discipline of love
Some discipline

You wild child
How sweet you smile
Your crystal ball
It's broken

Why did you do it?
Why did you go and spoil the fun?
Why did you do it?
You need the discipline of love
Some discipline

Take notice now
My turn to talk
The gate of love
It's narrow

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.
