What's cute about a little cutie
It's her beauty, not brains
Old father time will never harm you
If your charm still remains
After you grow old baby
You don't have to be a cold baby

Keep Young and Beautiful
It's your duty to be beautiful
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved
Don't fail to do your stuff
With a little powder and a puff
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved

If you're wise exercise all the fat off
Take it off, off of here, off of there
When you're seen anywhere with your hat off
Wear a Marcel wave in your hair

Take care of all those charms
And you'll always be in someone's arms
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved

If you're wise, exercise all the fat off
Take it off, off of here, off of there
When you're seen anywhere with your hat off
Wear a Marcel wave in your hair
Hahaha

Keep young and beautiful
It's your duty to be beautiful
That's right
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved
Boo pee doo

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
