[Verse 1]
Don't ya worry if you're lonely, baby
I'm at your door...
Put your trouble down
Upon me, baby
That's what I'm for...

[Pre-Chorus]
People like us
Are too messed up
To live in solitude
I'm gonna cure that problem, baby
I'm gonna fix it good...

[Chorus]
We two are one
We two are one

[Verse 2]
Don't ya know I really love you, baby
And that is sure...
All the groovy things
About you, baby
Make me feel secure...

[Pre-Chorus]
People like us
Are strong enough
To hold ourselves together
Keep the sky from fallin' down, yeah!
We're gonna live forever...

[Chorus]
We two are one
We two are one

[Verse 3]
So put your lovin' arms
Around me, baby
And hold me tight...
Give it everything
You've got now, baby
We'll get it right...

[Pre-Chorus]
People like us
Are too messed up
To live in solitude
I'm gonna cure that problem, baby
I'm gonna fix it good

[Chorus]
We two are one
We two are one
We two are one
We two are one
Yeah!

[Outro]
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
Hey! Hey!

Come on, come on!
I really love you!
I really love 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.
