[Verse 1]
I used to be a lunatic from the gracious days
I used to feel woebegone and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed for you to see

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but now
(I don't find myself bouncing home
Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry)

[Chorus]
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the word
(The lover speaks about the monsters)

[Verse 2]
I used to have demons in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire
So many monsters

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but now
(I don't find myself bouncing home
Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry)

[Chorus]
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me in silence

[Post-Chorus]
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the word

[Spoken Interlude]
(And people are being real crazy
But we will only come
And you know what, mommy?
Everybody was being real crazy
The monsters are crazy
There are monsters outside)

[Chorus]
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me in silence

[Post-Chorus]
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the word
Outside the words

[Chorus]
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me

[Post-Chorus]
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the word
Outside the world

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.
