Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you
Honey?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you
Sugar
Would I lie to you?

My friends know what's in store
I won't be here anymore
I've packed my bags
I've cleaned the floor

Watch we walkin'
Walkin' out the door

Believe me
I'll make it
Make it

Believe me
I'll make it
Make it
Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you
Honey? . .

Tell you straight
No intenrention

To your face
No deception
You're the biggest fake
That much is true

Had all I can take
Now I'm leaving you
Believe me
I'll make it
Make it
Oh yes
I will

Believe me
I'll make it
Make it
Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you
Honey? . .

Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you
Honey? . ..
My friends know what's in store
I won't be here anymore. . .
Believe me
Watch me
Watch me -
Believe me
Watch me
Watch me
Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you?

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.
