Robert Allen Palmer (January 19, 1949 – September 26, 2003), born in Batley, Yorkshire, England, was a British singer. He was known for his soulful voice and the eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, reggae, blues, and even yodeling. His eighties hits were promoted by particularly striking award winning videos, featuring an all-female, black-clad backing band. The memorable videos, directed by Terence Donovan, featured heavily on MTV and played a large part in his transatlantic success.

Here with You Tonight Lyrics

Robert Palmer

(gage)
Hey girl, you sit there pining
Inside you feel youre dying and the world doesnt care
You need someone to rely on
You need a shoulder you can cry on,
Well theres one right here
But let gets one thing clear
I aint no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
Ill be here with you tonight
But tomorrow Ill be gone
No commitments, no lies
One thing there wont be no lies, coz I got nothing to hide
A little comfort, a little soothing,
Just until youve started grooving (? )
Then Ill have to ride
Coz like I told you babe
I aint no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
Ill be here with you tonight
But tomorrow Ill be gone, gone
So remember what I told you
Just tonight Ill stay and hold you
Till you feel ok
A little loving to ease the pain
You feel yourself ? ? ?
And then Im on my way
I aint no substitution for the guy
Who left you alone
Ill be here with you tonight
But tomorrow Ill be gone, gone, gone
Ill be gone, Ill be gone
? ? ? ? be gone mama
Ill be gone
Cant afford to hang on mama
Ill be gone
