[Verse 1]
Blue – the colour suits you
Cool blue
How will you stay this way for ever?
Blue again
It's a lasting chill
To keep you cold as winter

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I forget you?
I'm never gonna give you up
How can I forget you, baby?
I'm never gonna give you up

[Chorus]
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

[Verse 2]
Blue – the colour fools you
Cool blue
I'll never stay the way for ever

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I forget you?
I'm never gonna give you up
How can I forget you, baby?
I'm never gonna give you up

[Chorus]
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

[Bridge]
How could she fall for a boy like that?
How could she fall for a boy like that?
How could she fall for a boy like that?
How could she fall for a boy like that?

[Verse 3]
Blue – the colour suits you
Cool blue
Blue – the colour fools you
Blue again
Blue
Cool blue
How will you stay this way for ever?

[Outro]
How can I forget you, baby?
I'm never gonna give you up
How can I forget you, baby?
I'm never gonna give you up
How can I forget you, baby?
I'm never gonna give you up
How can I forget you, baby?
I'm never gonna give you up

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.
