Robert Palmer - You Are In My System Lyrics






Day by day and night by night
I feel you in my mind
It happens all the time
You know the day dreams stop
My heart beats on
I can't take it any more
It's you I live for
You are in my system
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
You oooohhhh you're in my system, system
Don't you, Don't you, don't you know that, babe.
I will keep on pushing, pushing, pushing
Until I get through
My main objective baby is to get to you
To turn your mind around
I know will take time
But you know I can wait, now
You're on my mind
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
Got me burning, I'm on fire
You, you're in my system
You're everything I need
You, oooohhhh, you're in my system, system
Don't you, Don't you, don't you know that, babe.
It's a romantic vision of me and you
It happens all the time
My dreams are filled with you
There's no doubt in my mind
That I'll be true baby
You know I'll take you out
And I'll keep lovin' you
Oh baby you are in my system,
I just want you to know that
You are in my system
Cut me right down to the wire
You, ooohh, you're in my system
Got me burning I'm on fire
You, you're in my system
Can't make believe
You, you're in my system
You're everything I need
You, ooohh, you're in my system
I just want you to know that
You, you're my system
Got me burning I'm on fire
You, you're in my system

Robert Palmer You Are In My System Comments
  1. W.... H....

    Haven't seen this video in ages .

  2. W.... H....

    A classic tune redune by the late and great Robert Palmer.

  3. p.... ....

    Respect Robert Palmer BUT......The original was better.

  4. S.... W....

    The artist in me appreciates that this is just another take on a great classic. The curmugeon in me hates it. Because a classic like this will end up in a Guardians of Galaxy movie and everyone will think it's the original.

  5. L.... S....

    ROBERT PALMER plays all the instruments on this album. From the first time it was on my turntable, I was addicted to this tune.

  6. F.... F....

    The Systems’ version, which is the original, is way way way better than this!

  7. p.... ....

    This was My Song!!! Craig, UVA student 1983, let's dance. :)

  8. K.... M....

    Happy birthday Robert Palmer

  9. 7.... ....

    GTFOH...THIS SHIT IS TRASH! ALWAYS CO COPING.THE ORIGINAL IS WAY BETTER

  10. P.... T....

    Just plain cool from birth.

  11. b.... c....

    Robert Palmer did a damn good job on this remake.

  12. L.... S....

    ROBERT PALMER played every instrument on this album

  13. E.... H....

    In the system Alright 👍A legend... Mr. ROBERT PALMER...

  14. K.... M....

    0:52 Jimmy Fallon brought me here

  15. k.... ....

    Not a huge fan of the song, Preview, an over the air subscription service, used to play this ad nauseum back in the day.

  16. B.... ....

    Saw RP live a couple times in the 80s, a true professional showman. Sadly, I don’t recall him doing this song in either show. Such a killer track!

  17. k.... ....

    How'd he end up covering a classic by the system?

  18. S.... W....

    COOLEST DUDE EVER

  19. s.... ....

    Still listening in 2019 with fascination!

  20. G.... C....

    God, this man was handsome! Extremely talented too.

  21. J.... P....

    Robert Palmer did very good with this version. If he were here a lot longer...he'd be cranking out the hits he remade in concert and we'd love that just as much as we did the originals. RIP Robert.

  22. c.... e....

    Way before Jahmarqui, we had Robert Palmer, Loved his fusion of electronic music and real vocals

  23. Y.... B....

    The random roller skating chick¿
    No one is going to mention her?

  24. D.... E....

    came here to check this out, the original is one million times better

  25. B.... H....

    I've always felt that this version is better!

  26. G.... S....

    If an Angel danced in full pockets

  27. J.... J....

    System is good but both is a jam .Robert Palmer has soul he was on🔥🔥🔥🔥

  28. i.... ....

    good god this guy captured the feeling of electronics in the 80s in this music video. practical, futuristic, unpretentious and attractive.

  29. E.... R....

    Robert Palmer version??? THE Systems original long extended version is best.

  30. V.... K....

    This version is trash and lacks any kind of soul whatsoever

  31. D.... J....

    I like the other one better

  32. M.... ....

    I like the original but I LOVE this version. The soul in his voice contradicts the sterile synth sound making this song insanely powerful.

    M.... ....

    There’s no soul in his voice he’s just mimicking the original and did a piss poor job of it.

  33. R.... ....

    I like the system version better.

  34. C.... 9....

    Very nice.

  35. a.... ....

    One of the worst covers ever

  36. D.... P....

    Natural Talent!!!

  37. D.... ....

    I love to had Robert inside of me or vice verse.😉

  38. L.... S....

    I played the shit out of this tune, on the record, and danced to it.
    This tune is still SO FINE!
    Palmer played all the instruments on this record.
    Phones are on, we're bringing it back. It's just SO GOOD!

  39. F.... I....

    Ooo heck naw... This is some bs

  40. B.... G....

    Peaked at No. 78 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. The original version by The System Peaked at No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the same year. Both versions are equally as good.

  41. T.... D....

    One of my all time fav best track & the man himself RP, gorgeous handsome man, X

  42. M.... C....

    Blue eyed soul at its best. ❤❤❤❤

  43. J.... A....

    Love the leather jacket!

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

    This version is what you want from a great cover. The vocal has more commitment and the mix and panning of the sound is brilliant. From the same year a few months later

    G.... S....

    Hey! If you don't mind could you explain what you mean by commitment? I love both versions actually.. For me both vocals seem to be delivered passionately. Palmer's seems more laid back, while Murphy's sounds more resonant, vowels a bit more open and more support(which for me sounds more "committed", even though I really don't know what you mean by that haha). Anyway, truly just curious, it's interesting to see how other people perceive things. Shows you stuff you may have missed.

  45. W.... W....

    I like both versions of this song

  46. M.... P....

    Everyone go check out the original and BEST version by the system

  47. M.... P....

    No to this version.Just No. No. No.

  48. b.... c....

    robert Palmer is better🙂

  49. F.... J....

    Why is everyone always hyping this guy and calling him smooth and cool. All of his covers I've seen so far aren't even better than the originals.

  50. R.... ....

    PPG wave <3

  51. P.... T....

    Well before it's time. A tune engraved in my soul.

  52. J.... B....

    All hail the magical Robert palmer the effects are the Best

  53. S.... B....

    Disappointed reading these comments. The System is arguably my favorite group of all time and I feel Palmer did a nice job on this because he stayed true to himself and his voice. I'll personally take the System version as the better of the two. However, just because someone likes one version over the other or thinks Robert was a better vocalist than Mic doesn't make them a white supremacist. This shit is asinine.

  54. J.... ....

    Zukerberg's theme song.

  55. C.... M....

    Still goose bumps

  56. M.... T....

    Loved this man!!! ❤️

  57. L.... A....

    one sexy cool dude!! love Robert palmer rip beautiful man xxx

  58. r.... e....

    Not a bad cover! RIP Mr. Palmer!

  59. j.... ....

    Damn, i forgot about this song...Don't even know how I got here but glad I di!

  60. w.... h....

    the song is for the best women i ever new i will never forget you sorry i lost you your in my system for ever and ever

  61. D.... M....

    sorry just love Robert's version better

  62. V.... S....

    I'm a fan of this dude every thing he remakes it just sounds better r.I.p.

  63. S.... ....

    Loooove this version!! Robert Palmer knows how to get into the 80's by applying raw synthwave aesthetics. I like the System's just as much but there's something about Robert's version that has that "I have my own take on it" feel that gives him his own special standing. Good work, Robert, and happy birthday!

  64. T.... ....

    I like this track but I will never disrespect an artist by saying a cover is better....to come up with an original song-melody ,chords, lyrics is next to god-like. If it wasn't for the original we wouldn't have this....people take that for granted. So much for granted that the music industry made it a policy to copy and clone everything to death because it believe listeners are too stupid to uphold original ideas. Anyone can take an original idea and embellish it. Anything less than original is glorified karaoke.

  65. T.... ....

    .....love you kitten......

  66. B.... R....

    So he just went around pale-facing others' songs?

  67. G.... J....

    Roll bounce

  68. I.... L....

    This version is good, but...........The System was better.

  69. G.... ....

    I actually think that this sound pretty good,Its just that nothing supersedes soul music via one manipulating it because of a decent voice.! But this does sound good! Just not ask profoundly soulful.!!......PS soul music is uniquely different from Rock like Soul music. Solo soul music( not tampered wit) touch you on a different level, it's just cut from a different cloth.!

  70. V.... B....

    I just go his. Ideas to look at him.😂😂😂. Just kidding. I like The System’s version better, but he is fine...I ,ran this is fine.

  71. K.... ....

    I've never heard this version before but it's a really good cover. Not too far from the original but with a slightly harder edge.

  72. D.... 2....

    This is a classic but nothing tops the original version the system

  73. T.... ....

    Both are good! RIP

  74. e.... ....

    This version is ridiculous. Added zero to the original which was brilliant. Covers are cool ~ if something is added. This is just...ridiculous.

    e.... ....

    esquibelle Yes this is the karaoke version.

  75. H.... W....

    LOVE ME SOME ROBERT PALMER.......RIP

  76. T.... P....

    My favorite track from the "Riptide" album. David Frank rocked the synths on this. Something about the SImmons drums really screams the 1980's to me.

  77. W.... S....

    I loved him but damn he redid a lot of damn songs

  78. T.... ....

    Both versions are good

    T.... ....

    No there not the original one is way better!

    T.... ....

    Greg Qualls you’re correct this is a lousy soulless cover.

    T.... ....

    @Victor Kenarsy And the other is a cheap michael jackson knock off.

    T.... ....

    Definitely left out the soulful part of the song

  79. o.... ....

    @2:26-2:36, when you forget to pay the phone bill or that person no longer wants to talk to you.. I think the latter applies;)

  80. o.... ....

    @0:33, hand clap there?.. but of course;) oh well.. I still like the song.. "to turn your mind around, I know will take time" '07 is a long time, I tried to.. can't say I didn't try to tell you:(

  81. o.... ....

    you, are in THE SYSTEM!!... it's gigantic like the TITANIC!!!..oh well

  82. p.... ....

    Palmer seemed to make a living covering everyone else's shit. He' rarely acknowledged the original author publicly.

  83. m.... m....

    "the system" is awful! i was curious about cause everyone in here is talking bout "the soul" in the version of the system...WICH SOUL? The soul of the syntie? The voice is HORRIBLE - couldnt take it longer than 3 seconds...and NO, i´m no rassist - it would even be horrible with a white singer...oh...and not to forget: son of sound is an idiot

  84. K.... S....

    I feel you in my Ride...

  85. M.... ....

    Love the clap at: 0:32!

  86. I.... A....

    Robert Palmer looks like he wants to burst out laughing in some of these scenes.

  87. o.... ....

    gone Robert<3

  88. L.... ....

    this song reminds me of the movie weird science.

  89. b.... j....

    Oh, internet. These comments. smh

  90. J.... S....

    This was nice. The systems version was great too.

  91. d.... ....

    one of the best songs ever written

  92. D.... M....

    This doesn't sound much different from the original, maybe more polished in a way but nothing spectacular. I'll stick with the original.

  93. A.... r....

    If you don't like Robert Palmer's posh, white, British ass, then fuck you

  94. s.... ....

    So much discussion about the cover and the original....its been said before, its a question of taste. I heard Palmer's version first, so had nothing to compare it with....and I loved it, and still do. There's room for both, and one thing is for sure and certain, all the songwriters of all the songs Palmer has covered/interpreted are laughing all the way to the bank as a result, regardless of whether they are perceived to be better or worse than the original.

  95. V.... ....

    Omg I couldn't even listen to him sing this... it's such a joke. The System's true version of this is soulful and classic.
