Hyperactive

(Dennis Nelson/Tony Haynes/Robert Palmer)

She’s got a date for lunch in Singapore
Holds stock in I.B.M. and hates Dior
She puts up her make-up on at 6 am
She goes to work, gets home then puts it on again

And it’s a mystery how wild a girl can be
She’s got so much energy
She’s such an expert at surprising me

She’s hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a beat or missed a chance
And I’m persuaded by her argument
She’s hyperactive

The other dancers hyperventilate and start to sweat
One look at her I know the night’s not over yet
She says “Where are we going now?”
Her voice is sweet and soft
I think she lost the key that turns her motor off

And it’s a mystery how wild a girl can be
She’s got so much energy
She’s such an expert at surprising me

She’s hyperactive when she starts to dance
She’s so attracted to a wild romance
And more effective than a stimulant
She’s hyperactive
