FYI: Cherrelle did the original version of this song first in 1984 not Robert Palmer.

Glitter is one of my favourite albums of Mariah's. I love the 80s pop disco sound that obviously fit the film. Its such a shame that Glitter didnt do well at all...most of the songs on Glitter make me feel like dancing.

Jimmy and Terry are still the best producers and they make such distinct work for so many artist from Yolanda Adams, Usher, Janet Jackson, Selena, Mariah Carey, Karyn White, Chante Moore, and etc. Don't care what anyone says...Glitter Sdtrk was off the hook..regardless of the movie. Cherelle's version is still tight too. Go on MiMi..Love ya.

Sh!t. Now I have to track down Cherrelle's original! You can hear the Jam-Lewis influence on it.

user
She needs to sing it with a lower voice.

user
what a BEAUTIFUL woman she is

user
The music is the exact same music Cherrelle used in her version. It aint the music. It's just that Mariah's voice aint right 4 this song.

user
Robert Pamer did it 1st in '84, then Cherrelle in like '91. But I don't really think Mariah was meant 2 sing this one. Her voice don't really match the song, but Mariah does have an amazing voice nonetheless.

user
No. Cherrelle did it first in 1984 and Robert Palmer covered it in 1985 or 86.

Oh yeah, my bad! You're right! That bastard lied to me!

Lyrics:
Let you take me out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I wasn't tryin' to lead you on

Now you bring me home
And tell me goodnight's not enough for you
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on

You read me wrong
I wasn't trying to lead you on
I want a friend
I didn't mean to turn you on
Ho, I didn't mean to turn you on

I know you
Expected a one night stand
When I refused
I knew you wouldn't understand

Boy, I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice
Only tryin' to be nice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
Ho, I didn't mean to turn you on
Ho

Turn you on

Tell me why should I
Feel guilty 'cause I won't give
Guilty 'cause I won't give in
I didn't mean to turn you on, baby

I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
Ho, I didn't mean to turn you on, baby

I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on

You think that I'm a fool
'Cause I wouldn't play by your rules

I didn't mean to turn you on

You don't stand a chance
All I want to do is dance with you

I didn't mean to turn you on

I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice

I didn't mean to turn you on

I loved you for a friend
But I guess this is the end of our relationship
'Cause I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
...
