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 toilWell 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
