I feel so doggone lonely
Today, just isn't my day
When I got home this mornin'
I found a letter on my bed

When I opened up that letter
I broke right down and cried
She said, 'Now daddy, I hate to leave you'
Oh, yeah
'But I'm in love with another guy'

Oh, no, no
I couldn't believe
I couldn't believe she wrote it

So I read it, over again
And when I was finished
The tears came down like rain

The more I read this doggone letter
The more my poor heart cries
She said, Now Daddy, I hate to leave you'
Oh, yeah
'But I'm in love with another guy'

Oh, yeah
My baby, she said
My baby, she said
My baby, she said

This what she said
She said, 'No daddy, I hate to leave you'
Oh, yeah
'But I'm in love with another guy'

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.
