Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy
(My guy)
Nothing you could do 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy
(My guy)
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather we stick together
I'm tellin' you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy

Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy
(My guy)
Nothing you could buy could make me tell a lie to my guy
(My guy)
I gave my guy my word of honor to be faithful, and I'm gonna
You best be believing I won't be deceiving my guy

As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop;
As a matter of taste to be exact he's my ideal as a matter of fact

No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy
(My guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
(My guy)
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to bein' happy we are
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy

No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy
(My guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
(My guy)
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to bein' happy we are
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
(What you say, Tell me more)

No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy
(My guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
(My guy)
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to bein' happy we are

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.
