Lyrics
Would I Lie To You?
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 me 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?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?
Tell you straight, no intervention.
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
Believe me, I'll make it make it
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?
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 me 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?

The way Annie struts that stage is beautiful....Classic

[@moragmacgregor6792]

Like a predator

[@lindatrani4532]

Exactly!!! She is beautiful and talented!!!!

[@MisterBethany]

Beyond question her best screen performance. Camera loves her here and she has such presence. Back in the days I used to think she could have success acting, but I guess that's one talent she doesn't have or wasn't interested in. First heard the album is a house in Washington DC in 1986 (on maybe the first cd player I ever encountered), and must have played this track a dozen times in succession. And now come back to watch this video regularly. NB I do NOT think 'all music was better in my day' (when was 'my day' anyway, the 50s.60s 70s 80s...I dunno) I just like good stuff from whatever time and place, so there's no rose-tinted false nostalgia about this. (I hated that trip to the US).

In my opinion this is one of the best songs the Eurythmics produced. It’s full of raw emotion and pure music. The video boosts it but the song has so much punch it doesn’t need a video. Just love it.

[@theherald3117]

When Sweet Dreams (are made of this) came out in 1983, I was a senior in high school. The song and the band were just ok to me. Then, in my science class, I met Rebecca K. She invited me to sit with her at her desk, as each desk seated 2, and she had no one sitting with her. After a few days, Rebecca told me that whenever she heard Sweet Dreams, she thought of me. So, guess which song instantly became my favorite song? After high school we drifted apart. I’m not sure if it was because I was allergic to her cats, but I kept her photo that she gave me in my wallet for over 2 decades, even though my marriage, as my wife didn’t mind. I still think about you, Rebecca K. And especially when I hear any song by this incredible band! ❤

From the first video...I slept, dreamed, ate, lived MTV....in the beginning I thought it was just temporary, so I was afraid to turn it off and watch anything else (when I wasn’t at work singing with bands at the time)...I re-enacted all those songs from every female singer...and would even learn dance steps. When Eurythmics came out, Annie Lennox was it for me because she was rock and roll/New Wave with soul! Man, do I miss those days! Then MTV turned into crap when they started playing reality stuff...I curse the day “The Real World” came on. That was the beginning of the end.

[@SandiByrd]

The Eurythmics were my very first live concert - I believe it was 1989. I went with my big sister and marveled at how Annie sounded even BETTER singing in front of us than she did on my stereo. Her vocals were PERFECT and effortless it seemed. It was a feeling I'll never forget.

[@tanbranwin6322]

She is a Queen in music for sure

[@SandiByrd]

@@tanbranwin6322 I do hope you get to see her live some day. It was extraordinary to hear her. Happy Friday back! 🥰

The stand out female singer of the 80’s, 90’s. Absolutely amazing!

[@owencouch1870]

No flash, no legions of backup dancers, no hippity hoppity overly choreographed dance routines. Just talent and stage presence. Period. Fantastic!

[@built4hurricanes]

I call those “artists” the “glitz and glamour set”: not a lot of talent but a lot of pizzazzz.

Her look is timeless. You'd never know this video came out in the 80s

[@user-uh6lm5wv6n]

Just another pinnacle from the 80s. What a great time. Our lives were filled with endless top shelf music from a range of genres. 80s had it all.

When watching MTV every song/videos was awesome 👌

[@moragmacgregor6792]

Never been anybody like Annie till YET.

[@paulguzman1634]

If that powerful voice and the talent don't knock you over, that gorgeous face and body will! Annie is a one and only original, a True Rock Goddess!

[@lwc2009]

when Annie walks out onto that stage, SHE OWNS IT!!!! and everybody in that room...what a woman!!!!

[@hbrit92]

Huge voice! Great song! I can't help but start jumping around when I hear this! ❤

[@Memo2Self]

I hadn't seen this video in years, but watching it again I realized that this was the song, and the video, that really turned me into a Eurythmics / Annie Lennox fan for life (three albums in!). For me, "Be Yourself Tonight" remains their finest album, song after song after song - and the fact that this banger was immediately followed by "There Must Be An Angel"? ASTOUNDING. Excuse me while I play the whole damn album again!

Yea we had it on 24/7 in my house with my brother and sister bringing in all their burn out friends. I also listened to our new wave station, WLIR all day. It was heaven everyday

I was there at my job at Pacific Stereo when MTV debuted..WE had 30 TVs turned on to the same channel..IT WAS FUCKING EPIC!!!

[@peterprice14]

one of the greatest voices of all time

[@ebonpaladin]

Annie Lennox has one of those voices that are singular, unique - you know its her when you hear it. But I also want to point out her guitarist/producer Dave Stewart. During this phase of their careers he had to be one of the hardest working individuals in the business, literally flying all over the world on a series of projects on into the 90s. Prolific dude.

[@tarahall2218]

Timeless amazing drop-dead gorgeous powerhouse Annie and Eurythmics thank you for all your music. xoxo

[@josephdipalma3270]

Now there's a woman who can belt out a song and command a room. No auto tune here just a booming voice.

one of my top 5 fem singers of all time......66 years here so I have seen a few.....love this lady

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

A f ing men bro. Annie Lennox is SO underrated. One of the greatest female voices of all time.

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

@@ronnietoots6797 Lol curious to who you think the other four are Ronnie. Shes definately on my list, with a few other darkhorses from my 80s childhood.

[@ronnietoots6797]

@@chocolatetownforever7537 Hi dude you know things like music is subjective, I'd like to hears yours too! : For me my top 5 ( hard to select) Ann Wilson, the brunette of Heart, one good one is "How do I get you alone" soaring voice as always also Barracuda although I don5t like the song...., Karen Carpenter maybe the most beautiful pure voice ever, several of hers are great, Lady Gaga who i thought was just a publicity hound (she apparently is) bug damn she can sing, try a-capella version of "born this way", one of my sensual faves is Chrissy Hynde of The Pretenders, not sure if it is her vocal talent or her seductivenes...my problem...except for Chrissy H I am picking real vocalists not just faves....then it is a tie between Gladys Knight (Midnight train to Ga.) or Aretha, but I dont like Aretha's style, so I guess my 5 is Gladys..! Hope you reply, I am just trying to come out of this ridiculous sheltering stuff. btw names not really ronnie toots...seemed like a good idea at the time.

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

@@ronnietoots6797 Lol I hear you about the name. I think its just fine, and I dig your list. My list? In no specific order, I think you have to put Karen Carpenter on there. She was simply amazing. As you know, I want Annie Lennox on my list as well. She had the pipes, but also a lot of soul. I truly feel shes underrated in terms of all time great voices. Another I love is Marie Fredriksson, from the 80s band Roxette. She tragically passed last year, but even while she was on earth, I swear she sounded like an angel. "It must have been love, but its over now" is one of my favorite songs of all time, and its because of her voice. Aretha is pretty damn good lol, but. Im going to go with Dionne Warwick. It might not be a blasting voice like Aretha Franklin, but its just so smooth and unique. I know its Dionne Warwick singing, without knowing its her. Whos last? Im going to go with Whitney Houston. Unlike Warwick and Franklin, she had a boomer. To this day, she sang the best version of the Star Spangled Banner ive ever heard. I love that she not only hit the notes, but didnt overdo it with the BS that some do when singing that song. She was one of my first crushes in the 80s, she was incredibly beautiful, and had talent. The whole package. Thats my list. Probably not perfect, but not bad lol. Its fun talking with you about it. I love talking to people that value history, because it seems so many cant even remember yesterday, let alone 40 years ago.

Annie Lennox is an Hollywood Star in that clip. Great presence in front of the camera and had a awsom potentiel to be an actress ! Wow suprised by the clip ! It's never to late !
