She's got a date for lunch in Singapore
Holds stock in I.B.M. and hates Dior
She puts up her make-up on at 6.00am
She goes to work, gets home then puts it on again

And its a mystery how wild that girl can be;
She's got so much energy;
She's such an expert at surprising me
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
And she's so attracted to a wild romance
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a beat or missed a chance
And I'm persuaded by her argument
She's hyperactive

The other dancers hyperventilate and start to sweat
One look at her - I know the nights not over yet
She says Where are we going now?
Her voice is sweet and soft
I think she lost the key that turns her motor off

And its a mystery how wild that girl can be;
She's got so much energy;
She's such an expert at surprising me
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a beat or missed a chance
And I'm persuaded by her argument
She's hyperactive
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
And she's so attracted to a wild romance
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive

And its a mystery how wild that girl can be;
She's got do much energy;
She's such an expert at surprising me
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
And she's so attracted to a wild romance
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a beat or missed a chance
And I'm persuaded by her argument
She's hyperactive

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a beat or missed a chance
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a beat or missed a chance
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive

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.
