Robert Palmer

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer and songwriter. He was known for his powerful, soulful voice and sartorial elegance, and for his stylistic explorations, combining soul, funk, jazz, rock, pop, reggae, and blues. While his "four-decade career incorporated every genre of music", Palmer is best known "for the pounding rock-soul classic, 'Addicted to Love', and its accompanying video, which came to epitomise the glamour and excesses of the 1980s."Having started in the music industry in the 1960s, including a spell with Vinegar Joe, he found success in the 1980s, both in his solo career and with the Power Station, scoring Top 10 hits in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Baby, when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love, we hoped
Little did we know

Darling, all the time we spent
Ooh, ignoring all the consequences
And hiding from big evidence
Hoping things would change

But the yearning grew
Like the loneliness of a castaway
To be near to you was the only thing
In my mind each day
Keeping me alive
'Til your rescue came
Honey, you mean everything to me

[Chorus]
You ought to know by now
Love is everything to me
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness

Wishful thinking spent in vain
What to lose and what to gain
All the guilt and all the pain
Seemed to come away

But baby when our hearts awoke
Oh, think of all the rules
We broke
In the name of love, we spoke
Little did we know

But the hope was there
Like a ray of sun on a cloudy day
Any change from impossibility
To the only way
Love can conquer all
And it's here to stay
Honey, you mean everything to me

[Chorus]

(You ought to know by now)
(You ought to know by now)
(You ought to know by now)
