Danse comme si le temps n’existait pas, mon amour
Parce que ce soir il n’y a plus de temps
Danse comme si ton coeur allait s’épuiser
Parce que cette nuit sera superbe
Mes yeux … un mysterieux garçon (??)
Et je me noie dans ton regard

Grown up and one you take what you get
Like a baby, waiting to be spoonfed
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)
Grown up girls
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)

Grown up now, in the bedroom sheets…
A beautiful boy, the taste of something sweet…
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)
Grown up girls
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)

Danse comme si le temps n’existait pas, mon amour
Parce que ce soir il n’y a plus de temps
Danse comme si ton coeur allait s’épuiser
Parce que cette nuit sera superbe

Dance, dance, as if your heart will break
Dance, dance, as if your heart will break
Dance, dance
Dance, dance

Dance, dance
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)
Grown up girls
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)
(oooh, ma – ma – ma)

Grown up and there’s nothing to say
Dance Dance
You look so different in the clear light of day
Dance Dance
All grown up now, can’t be wrong (??)
Dance Dance
I never expected to take home anyone
Grown up!

Dance, dance
Grown up girls…
(comme si le temps n’existait pas)
Grown up…
Dance, dance…
Grown up girls
(comme si le temps n’existait pas)
Grown up..
Dance, dance…
Grown up girls…
(comme si le temps n’existait pas)
Grown up…
Dance, dance…
Grown up girls…

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Annie 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.

Over the decade, the duo moved away from their dark new wave sound and S&M imagery, evolving into a more mainstream synthpop band. In that time, they scored twenty-one UK top 40’s (ten of which were also US top 40 hits). In 1990, Eurythmics quietly disbanded and Lennox took a break from music to have her first child.
