Palmer, Robert - I Didn't Mean To Turn You On Lyrics






When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on
Now I bring you home
You tell me "Good night's" not enough for you
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
You read me wrong
I wasn't tryin' to lead you on
Not like you think
I didn't mean to turn you on
I know you
Expected a one-night-stand, when I refused
I knew you wouldn't understand
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice
Only tryin' to be nice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
Hey, now why should I
Feel guilty 'cause I won't give
Guilty 'cause I won't give in
I didn't mean to turn you on
Oh, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on
When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on
Oh, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on

  1. J.... R....

    No wonder Arcadia were so disappointed. Seems Andy and John decided to make an album they wanted , that was outside Duran’s pop music, and did well.Even had a second album a decade or so later Arcadia, no.

  7. F.... P....

    The way the song begins with those three beeps is kind of ironic now, being that he died of a heart attack at the age of 54.

  23. C.... S....

    Robert Palmer was SOOO FREAKING COOL!!!!

  24. B.... ....

    Women in the 80 beautiful without tattoos they were sexy but the women of today complete bitches and on top of that they are entitled and empowered.

  25. S.... I....

    Robert, he was so coo l

  31. P.... M....

    Robert Palmer was pure class.

  32. t.... ....

    Robert didn't launch himself into the excessive 80s rock lifestyle. He didn't do drugs, excessive boozing, or irresponsible partying. The only bad thing he did was... he smoked 3 packs a day. And that was enough to kill him. Don't smoke.

  33. a.... a....

    Very clever song! PIONEER MUSIC!

    The foreign lady has beautiful eyes!

  40. N.... A....

    A clever play on the lyrics!

  41. L.... T....

    I'm stuck in the 80's I just want a Peugeot 205 GTi.

  42. W.... L....

    How does this have less than 4,000,000 views? 🤔

  43. J.... C....

    Love it in 2020

  44. S.... G....

    I can't believe this song and video is 34 years old. My favorite song from Robert Palmer. He made made coin for Cherelle who wrote and sang the song!! RIP Mr. Palmer.

  45. K.... F....

    I'm the one that told Robert Palmer to quit the pimp game and start doing covers to songs I originally wrote for other artist. I had my stylist make them street women into the first professional video models. T. K. Kirkland

  46. K.... K....

    Still rocking this song in 2020🔥🔥🔥

  47. K.... ....

    I always liked Palmer's version more than the original... You don't see 'cool' like this in today's music scene.....

  48. J.... R....

    He was like this in the late ‘70’s, too. Before Power Station, I liked him since ‘78-‘79 when “ Bad Case Of Loving You “ was all over the radio. “Every Kinda People” ,was there ,then also.

  49. a.... ....

    My man had the hottest assistants

  50. m.... ....

    No one even noticed the girls weren't really playing the instruments

    m.... ....

    No one even cares

  51. N.... ....

    The dancer on the far right of the group in the white is super sexy, featured prominently at 1:54. Even had the best looking moves out of all of them. I know she's in her 50s by now but that sex appeal never goes away.

  52. D.... E....

    I like it, but how much cocaine were they on when they made this? The correct answer is all of the cocaine.

    D.... E....

    Coke? Nah, more like too much whiskey and cola

  53. L.... J....

    cherrelle brought me here...i went back immediately

  54. K.... J....

    No men, or even us women for that matter, cared that the ladies weren’t really playing the instruments. It was a really good video lesson on HOW TO BE FREAKING SEXY!!!

  55. o.... s....

    i still play the cd in my car

  56. P.... ....

    Anyone bumpin this funky-ass jam in 2020?

  57. Y.... ....

    Girls looking straight out of a Nagel Print.

  58. Y.... ....

    Again, Mr Palmer...How many women should we put in the video?

    Palmer: All of them

  59. G.... H....

    *You just know he turned all of them on.Hell, he probably did them all !*

  60. T.... M....

    Feminist and lesbian paradise video, females playing all instruments and dancing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  61. C.... D....

    This is officially my favorite-looking 80s video: captures the era perfectly <3

  62. M.... F....

    Still playin this in 2020

  63. S.... V....

    Shout out to Cherrelle, the one who made this song first. R I.P Robert Palmer who did a nice cover for it.

    S.... V....

    Wow, I really thought it was the other way around. I really did learn something here.

  64. R.... T....

    This is is reminiscent of beyonces green light

  65. R.... B....

    It's 2020 and I didn't mean to turn you on

  66. D.... E....

    Robert Palmer is very sorely missed

  67. R.... ....

    must be nice to buy your way into music

  68. M.... A....

    RP Looking for clues was THE first album l bought for My self as a Wild child🚺

  69. C.... D....

    Now that's how you make a hot music video, don't need women stripping naked for them to be sensual 👍👍

  70. M.... B....

    Going into 2020 with some damn good music!! #80sKid

  71. T.... M....

    The question is "Who played this very awesome bass guitar on this song?". Does anyone know ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    T.... M....

    12 31 19 Hey Timothy Midgett, The bass player is Bernard Edwards. I found the information on Wikipedia. Hope that may help. Be well in 2020. v

  72. B.... ....

  83. L.... C....

    The epitome of COOL.

  84. �.... �....

    Robert palmer had a short solo career, he started in 1974 and ended in 2003 as he died untimely at that year, I mostly knew him from his album from 1976, and from his hits from solo career and with the band power station which got plenty appearances on MTV because his special videos and terrific songs, he was a great artist, he could sing romantic songs to hard rock songs, I love especially his album from 1994, R.I.P

  85. t.... ....

  86. H.... r....

    This is waaaayyyy better than the music in this days now, Shame that I didn’t grow up listening to this.

    Lyric:

    I Didn't Mean To Turn You On




    When I took you out

    I knew what you were all about

    But when I did

    I didn't mean to turn you on

    Now I bring you home

    You tell me the night's not enough for you

    I'm sorry, baby

    I didn't mean to turn you on

    Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on

    You read me wrong

    I wasn't tryin' to lead you on

    Not like you think

    I didn't mean to turn you on

    I know you

    Expected a one-night-stand when I refused

    I knew you wouldn't understand

    I'm sorry, baby

    I didn't mean to turn you on

    I told you twice

    I was only tryin' to be nice

    Only tryin' to be nice

    Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on

    Hey, now why should I

    Feel guilty 'cause I won't give

    Guilty 'cause I won't give in

    I didn't mean to turn you on

    Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on

    When I took you out

    I knew what you were all about

    But when I did

    I didn't mean to turn you on

    Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on

  91. D.... A....

    Great Song 👌

  92. D.... T....

    You read me wrong.

  93. D.... T....

    Tough jam. I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to turn you on.

  94. k.... k....

    After this video end, I got to return some videotapes.

  95. M.... a....

    "I didnt mean to turn you on"
    Well i'm sorry that you're so fucking cute alright? XD

  96. L.... ....

    Can't wait to meet him, where ever we go after this.

  97. T.... P....

    This dude looked awkward and emotionless in this video, and sung this remake really flat, yet it went number one. Only Rob could pull this off. 😂

  98. J.... C....
