Released: April 6, 1992

Songwriter: Annie Lennox

Producer: Stephen Lipson

Money can't buy it ... baby
Sex can't buy it ... baby
Drugs can't buy it ... baby
You can't buy it ... baby

I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in love alone yeah, yeah

Take the power to set you free
Kick down the door and throw away the key
Give up your needs, your poisoned seeds
Find yourself elected to a different kind of creed

I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in the power of creation
I believe in the good vibration
I believe in love alone yeah, yeah

Won't somebody tell me what we're coming to
It might take forever till we watch those dreams come true
All the money in the world won't buy you peace of mind
You can have it all but you still won't be satisfied

Money can't buy it ... baby
Sex can't buy it ... baby
Drugs can't buy it ... baby
You can't buy it ... baby

Now, hear this
Pay attention to me
Cause I'm a rich white girl and it's plain to see
I got every kind of thing that the money can buy
Let me tell you all about it
Let me amplify
I got diamonds
Have you heard about those?
I got so many that I can't close my safe at night
In the dark
Lying awake in a sick dream

I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in the power of creation I believe in the good vibration
I believe in love alone yeah, yeah
Didn't I say that money can't buy it?

Money can't buy it ...
Money can't buy it ...

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.
