Deserves investigation
Underestimation
Against our inclinations
Let ourselves in for it

Ignore the provocation
Ignore the implications
Ignore the obligations
Let ourselves in for it

Are you gonna fall for this
We're gonna pay hell for it
Now we can't wait for it
We let ourselves in for it

Wild calculations
Exert a fascination
Tame speculation
We let ourselves in for it

Are we sittin still for this
We're gonna pay hell for it
Now we can't win for it
We let ourselves in for it

We were bound to make the most of it
Yes here's the best of it
Let yourself in
Any way that you figure it
Got it at our fingertips
Got to give in

Wild calculations
Exert a fascination
Tame speculation
Let ourselves in for it

Let's disprove the allegation
No longer occupation
This is recreation
Get yourself into it

You're gonna fall for this
We're gonna pay hell for it
Now we can't win for it
We let ourselves in for it

Let's disprove the allegation
No longer recreation
This is occupation
Get yourself into it

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.
