Palmer, Robert - Girl U Want Lyrics






You're in a corner everywhere you turn,
You know you're headed for the planet of burn,
But the words get stuck on tip of your tongue,
She's the real thing but knew it all along,
She's just the girl, she's just girl
The girl you want
She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of a greenhouse tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
It drifts on down in a mist from above
She's just the girl, She's just the girl
The girl you want
Look at you (with) your mouth watering
Look at you (with) your mind spinning
Why don't you just admit it's all over
She's just the girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
You're in a corner everywhere you turn,
You know you're headed for the planet of burn,
But the words get stuck on tip of your tongue,
She's the real thing but knew it all along,
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want

  4. J.... L....

    Man! I didn't know he did this. A lot of money spent on that video from the '80s...
    Been a Devo fan from when they did SNL in the early days... when they were good.
    "Bass-O-Matic", "Fondue Pots for Nambibia", "Lord and Lady Douchebag", "Bad Theater with Lawerence Pinth Granell (sp-?)...


    I really want to see the Niles Copperthwait videos again.... The Raging Queen...

    This video needs a big fat line of Pink Bubblegum '85.

  11. C.... ....

    Robert Palmer...what song sounds Just like my song simply irresistible...oh here’s one!

  12. A.... B....

    Oh my God, I have been looking for this video for YEARS! I am so glad to have this video in my favorites.

  13. l.... ....

    As I respect the late Mr Palmer, the Soundgarden cover has way more balls.

  14. T.... L....

    Palmer had a knack for remaining largely true to the original when he did a remake but still changing it just enough to put his own unique stamp on it. Speeding up the pace, going more "metal" but still maintaining much of the original's character.

  15. B.... G....

    Geez... now I don't know what to think anymore.

  16. S.... B....

    Devo fan... But this is a hell of a cover!

  17. A.... ....

    Thank you ohnoitisnathan44. I didn't know Palmer had covered the song until just now. Interesting video, too.

  18. M.... ....

    This is just awesome. Wish it was a bit longer! Robert Palmer is the coolest man in Rock N Roll. Should be in the Hall of Fame!

  19. J.... D....

    This song is cool because this if Robert fucking Palmer.

  20. L.... K....

    Robert never disappoints! this is so dam fun

  21. d.... ....

    Loooooove this song ROBERT PALMER , brilliant

  22. D.... S....

    Being a massive Devo fan, of course I prefer the original BUT I'm also an RP fan, but regardless of that, he's done a good job.  He's done something different with it, rather than all the backing being exactly the same with just RP singing over it.  He's mashed up the guitar riff, which sounds good, given it that heavier bite that RP sometimes likes (think Some Like It Hot, Power Station).  So, all in all, not a bad job. And of course....RIP RP.... 

    D.... S....

    I think Soundgarden did a great version of it.

    D.... S....

    David S The guitar is Nuno Bettencourt

  23. M.... ....

    Here I was half hoping that for ONCE Robert Palmer would foul up and fail - But nooo, the man once more proved what a genius he was. 

  24. �.... ....

    I wanted to see this PV for ages… thank you.

  25. a.... ....

    Oooh thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this! For some strange reasion, I missed this at the time and I've been wanting to see it for ages!
