Some People Can Do What They Like

(robert palmer)

I'm restless when i see the likes of you
I'll take it any way you want me to
If you're hungry i know you're gonna move your ground
I get breathless when i see the likes of you around

Some people, some people can do what they like
I said that some people, some people can do what they like
Know that some people, yeah some people can do what they like

When i'm with you
Don't want to be with no-one else
Let's get up on it
Till we just can't stand ourselves
There's times when love is just like poetry
Hey don't you think thats's how it ought to be

Some people, some people can do what they like
Some people, some people can do what they like yeah yeah
Some people, some people can do what they like

Hey lover will you be polite with me
Be covered if you spend some time with me
I'm restless when i see the likes of you
I'll take you anyway you want me to

Some people, some people can do what they like
Some people, some people can do what they like
Some people, some people can do what they like
Some people, some people can do what they like
Some people, can do what they like
Some people, can do what they like

One two
Well the night that i got into town
Was the night that the rain froze on the ground
Comin' down the street i heard such a sorrowful tune
Comin' from the place they called the spanish moon

Well i stepped inside, and i stood by the door
While dark-eyed girls sang and played the guitar
Hookers and hustlers, filled up the room
This was the place they called the spanish moon

Whiskey and bad cocaine
Got me on ?? train
If that don't kill me soon
The women will down at the spanish moon

Well i sold my watch and i pawned my ring
Just to hear that girl sing
'bout the news my whole ?? rose soon
'bout the news down at the spanish moon

Whiskey and bad cocaine
Got me on ?? train
If that don't kill me soon the women will down at the spanish moon
Oh oh give it

What if i said, can you get to the end it's a ?? situation
If that don't kill me soon
The women will down at the spanish moon
Oh oh, give it to me please, whoa

Well i stepped inside, and i stood by the door
A dark-eyed girl sang and played the guitar
Hookers and hustlers, filled up the room
This was the place they called the spanish moon

Whiskey and bad cocaine
Got me on ?? train
If that don't kill me soon
The women will down at the spanish moon

Have mercy, have mercy baby
Please have mercy,have mercy on me
Oh have mercy, please have mercy baby
Have mercy mercy, have mercy on me

Went to see the gypsy, to have my fortune read
She said your baby's gonna leave you
She's got her bags stashed under the bed

Have mercy, have mercy baby
Please have mercy,have mercy on me

If you stay here baby, tell you what i'm gonna do
I'm gonna work to a job, seven days a week
Bring my money home to you

Have mercy mercy mercy , have mercy baby
Oh have mercy,have mercy on me

Hey baby, hey now
What you tyrin' to do
Hey baby, hey now
Please don't say we're through

Have mercy mercy, have mercy baby
Oh have mercy,have mercy on me

I can't tell temptation from chance
You are gonna have to lead me a dance
You are stepping so treacherously
It makes me wonder why it's gettin' to me

Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl

I can't tell patience from fear
You are gonna have to take it from here
I like the way you carry on
It makes me want to sing this song

Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
Gotta get a grip on you
Gotta get a grip on you,
Gotta get a grip on you
Gotta get a grip on you

You know i can't tell temptation from chance
You are gonna have to lead me a dance
You are stepping so treacherously
It makes me wonder why it's gettin' to me

Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
Come to grips with you
Gotta get a grip on you,
Come to grips with you
Gotta get a grip on you
Come to grips with you

Well it seems such a long time
Since our love had it's day
You hope it knew the times i tried not let you slip away
Not always eye to eye looking at what's new
You know it wont be easy, being without you

You have to go, is there something you must find?
Take one last look at love baby
Take one last look at the love we're leaving behind
One last look, there'll be no more making your mind up
One last look at love oh oh

I realise you're changing
You know it needs to be
I didn't know this trust in you would take your love from me
We gave each other something we outgrew yesterday
I hope that you remember, how love it was with me

You have to go, is there something you must find?
Take one last look at love baby
Take one last look at the love we're leaving behind
One last look, there'll be no more making your mind up
One last look at love

You have to go, is there something you must find?
Take one last look at love
Take one last look at the love we're leaving behind
One last look, there'll be no more making your mind up
One last look , one last look at love
