Sulky Girl

(Robert Palmer)

Go tell your sister about it

Go tell your brother the same

Bet they'll only look at you sideways

And call you insane

Don¡¯t tell your mama about it

She won¡¯t see the funny side

She¡¯s only seen all her life

In terms of staying alive

Well you paint a picture

Of the whole wide world

But nobody¡¯s buyin' from

(Such a sulky girl)

She wants a new brand of make-up

She can¡¯t decide what to wear

She¡¯s feels run down and

She can¡¯t do a thing with her hair

You kept me out of your payments

You got three things on the boil

You see the practice of fun

As an endless toil

Well you paint a picture

Of the whole wide world

But nobody's buyin' from

Such a sulky girl

(Such a sulky girl)

Nobody gives you no leeway

They sure got a lot to learn

If they won¡¯t give you no sympathy

Wait ¡®till it¡¯s their turn

She enjoys messing her grievance

And so she pouts all day

She won¡¯t ever a smile past her lips

Until things go her way

Well you paint a picture

Of the whole wide world

But nobody's buyin' from

Such a sulky girl

(Such a sulky girl)

Sulky, sulky, sulky girl

Sulky, sulky, sulky girl

Sulky, sulky, sulky girl

Sulky, sulky, sulky girl
