[Verse 1]
I've got a delicate mind
I've got a dangerous nature
And my fist collides
With your furniture
I've got a delicate mind
I've got a dangerous nature
And my fist collides
With your furniture

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm an electric wire
And I'm stuck inside your head

[Verse 2]
I'm a hungry Mohican
I've got a razor-blade smile
So don't come near me
I've got a singular style
Fifteen senses
Are on my plate
All the things
That you love to hate

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm an electric wire
And I'm stuck inside your head

[Chorus 1]
Where I go to no one knows
Find me where the cold wind blows
Where I go to no one knows
Find me where the cold wind blows
Regrets! (Yeah!)

[Verse 3]
I've got a delicate mind (Regrets!)
I've got a dangerous nature
And my fist collides (Regrets!)
With your furniture
I've got a delicate mind (Regrets!)
I've got a dangerous...
And my fist collides
With your furniture

[Bridge 1]
Regrets!
I'm an electric wire
I'm an electric wire
I'm an electric wire
Regrets!
Regrets!

[Chorus 2]
Regrets!
Black is red and red is white
In this country I do what I like
Regrets!
I say, black is red (Regrets!)
Regrets!
And red is white
Do what I like (Regrets!)
Yeah!

[Bridge 2]
Regrets!
That's right, that's right
That's right, that's right
That's right, that's right
That's right, that's right
Yeah!
Regrets!

[Outro]
Red is white (Regrets!)
Black is red and red is white
In this country I do what I like
Black is red and red is white
Regrets!
In this country I do what I like
Do what I like
Do what I like
Regrets!
Regrets!
Regrets!

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.
