One more time for the womankind
This is for the womankind
Check it out

Ooh baby's got precious eyes
And when he smiles the sun comes shinin'
To make the day seem like each cloud contains a silver linin'
I would be so happy
If he belonged with me forever
But I know it's not to be
It"s not part of my destination

I wish I had a lover who could turn this water into wine
I wish I had a lover who could give me love at any time
Wish I had so many things
And all my wishes would come true
It's got me thinkin' that I want to get too close to you

Hear my prayer
I'm tired of waitin'
Hear my prayer
Give it a chance
Hear my prayer
I'm clearly statin'
I need to change this circumstance

You could be the best damn thing
That hasn't happened yet to me
You could be the best thing
To come into my mythology
We could have the kinda dream they call a great affinity
I want to turn it into something like reality

Hold me now
I'm tired of waitin'
Hold me now
I'm askin' you
Hold me now
No more anticipatin'
Why won't you come to my rescue?

Ooh baby's got precious eyes
And when he smiles
The sun comes blastin'
I wish that feelin' of contentment
Would be everlasting
I would be so happy
To give him all my dedication
I would be so happy
But it's only my imagination

Ooh...
This is for the womankind
Ooh...
Singin' for the womankind
Ooh...
That's right for the womankind
Ooh...

How many doors must I go through?
These constant dreams that I pursue
I can see possibilities in you
Yea here we go again
Is this too good to be true?
I had this thing called love
Still don't know what it is
Maybe I've had enough
Oh save me please
All my wants are becoming needs
Tell me what you feel
Stripped bare for you to see
Yeah every desire go through the fire
This is what I give of me
If I could just be free
Baby won't you rescue me?
Baby won't you rescue me?
Very desire go through the fire
Lay me down
I wanna be
Under your skin

Annie Lennox

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.
