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? - Hudba

The way Annie struts that stage is beautiful....Classic
Like a predator
Exactly!!! She is beautiful and talented!!!!
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).
@@moragmacgregor6792900.... You're not kidding😊
What a women !
I always felt she didn’t achieve the recognition she truly deserved.
Such a powerful voice! Her range put her above her peers!!!💝
She has an Oscar but I know what you mean
I saw her at the MGM for save the music my feet was sore from dancing so hard
@@shanettaholmes833 Soooo many good tunes 😊
I always had her up there with the queen of soul Areatha Franklin , when it came to vocals she is that good !
And she seemed like a decent person.
BADASS!! SHES THE BEST!!! NOBODY HAS THAT VOICE!!!
Ascoltati i mattia bazar e poi sappimi dire!
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. Thank you Dave n Annie for all you have given us over the years. Real music came from the 80s and you were a massive part of that ❤❤
Very true.
👍👍👍
definitely the best song. Blasts!
Totally agree! Love Annie's voice, Dave's guitar, the horns (oohh), etc. Great song all around!
You are so right.
One of my Eurythmics favorites. Those horns working with the guitar while the backup singers work with Annie's wails. Excellence
A woman singing the Blues!
It's Annie's Back up Vocals Too
After more than 40 years listening song,I think its amazing. Now the decadence of music, none write this kind lyrics and innovative music with a great voice
1:27 is an example of that.
That bassline though...
Always loved the guitar riff. Backup singers. Horns. It has it all.
The backup singers are all Annie - multitracked!
Annie doesn't need a microphone, those pipes of hers man, out of this world!
Can we have a moment to appreciate the absolutely perfect Strat tones and playing of Dave Stewart? Simply amazing.
Saw the Eurythmics in the 80’s in Dallas at Reunion Arena. Place was packed. She’s wearing a white blouse and a red bra underneath. For the encore, she comes back on stage to sing “Would I lie to you?” without the blouse....wearing just the red bra. Crowd goes crazy. I guess I did too. Luckily, my wife Lynnett was not there to see me go crazy as well. She didn’t care for the group and let me go alone. F*cking great concert. Annie was fantastic. God, I miss the 80’s.
Annie Lennox rocks! "I've packed my bags, I've cleaned the floor ... watch me walking out the door!" ... just as good today as it was back in the day.
She even cleaned the floor (-: Wotta woman.
Annie is my love forever 💔
Well as long as she cleaned the floor before she left I'm sure her man will make it.
I think she would lie to you. I think she played Freddie Mercury when he was supposed to have AIDS.
Mike True!!
The Eurythmics were HUGE in the 80's and this album was a killer!
When ppl say she didn’t get recognition… well I lived through the 80’s and the Eurythmics are in the Rock in Roll Hall of Fame & have 8 Grammys! They were the BEST! 🎶 🎙️ 🖤🤍
@@nolagirl2458 Exactly, people who say the Eurythmics were underrated obviously never lived through the 80's.
Annie WAS the Eurythmics…..
There is always someone who says that "so & so" was "underrated" it's the one comment that you can count on, seeing in every music video.😖
Cure blew them out with the sky
She was one of a rare group of female pop singers who was strong, opinionated and never used her body to get attention. Groundbreaking woman who’s overlooked these days.
It´s puzzling how her 80s look is so 2016-looking. She doesnt look dated or overdone in any way. That pixie cut is so today! A woman ahead of her time in many respects.
Annie has always been amazing
Fashion tends to go full circle
The Eurythmics are a top shelf band and Annie is so shagadelic......
Maybe she is what set the trend.
Real talent and beauty rolled into one
one of the greatest voices of all time
love the female backup vocals singing like The supremes
Madilen Urra Happens. Hi. No. Bye. Yes. Goodness
Check out
Missionary man by annie..just wow.
Babe on center just beautiful, I was a teen first time I saw this vid. She has been on my dreams till today.
What's crazy is that they're just in the video. In the actual recording it's all multitracked Annie.
Yeah as COMPOSER and Voice of Raymond Earl Eagles Super Bowl Champions 52. I got left with raising 4 daughters and a set of twins. Twins as friends. And as Darryl(drivs)Rivers of Moorestown NJ, I knew I could not separate them 2. Why, cause them 2 friends and twins are true to each other.
Hands down. Best music video of that era, and my fav Eurythmics song. Everything rocks on this. Annie owns that stage. Dave hits that guitar. The backup singers and horns put it all together. I love putting this on the big screen and cranking the volume.
You wrote every thing that I was just about to write. Best of all, the villain is vanquished. The whole place instinctively unites in getting rid of the bastard. Total exhilaration.
Annie and Dave are obviously brillant, but what makes this video for me are the backup singers. These sisters have all the moves!
Yes re the moves, but the vocals are all Annie
@@tomeich7 yess
I laugh every time I see that yuppie in the suit,trying to dance. 😆
I'll never forget when this song and video came out. Eurythmics had been chilly, a bit aloof...and then this!
When Annie emerged from the side of that stage - BAM! - we were slack-jawed. We knew she could sing...but, OMG. In this gutsy setting, it was like someone threw an electric switch. Riveting, great stuff.
Be Yourself Tonight was their best work IMO, it proved that Eurythmics were more than just synth and cold tunes
@@pgfnj0279 Great album, no doubt, but Savage is my favorite for sure.
I agree, this song was quite a surprise.
wasn't the guy on the motor bike a busy actor at the time of this video ?
Well said! I remember it seemed like Eurythmics had disappeared. Then this!
From the moment she first appears between the guys in the horn section and walks on that stage, she owns it.
q
It is NOT getting old.
1:27 when Annie Lennox emerges from the brass section, history is pretty much made.
Bring back real music with real character and personality again. I miss the 80s so much.
got to have a market translation we must purchase the recording
you aren't looking for the right ones if you think they don't exist anymore, terrible mentality
1992. But I hear you.
@Nature and Physics whoops you"re right!
@@tuvieja1697 lol, name one....
The pipes on that woman, damnation.
Annie was astounding.Her talent and voice were absolutely second to none!! She has such power and emotionl in her soul and then her voice delivered every bit of it!!!!
She STILL IS ❗
She's still around, you know.
Don't have many female singers in my music library. Annie is it.
Annie Lennox is one of my fav singers ever. There are many colors in her voice and she can evoke various emotions. I just can't get enough of her amazing voice.
Remember when MTV was. ALL VIDEOS ALL DAY
Me too dude....me too😞
Yes loved it. When it was worth watching
Good ol days!
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!!!
Annie Lennox.....ATTITUDE in this song.
PINK....Admit it.....Annie was the ONE before you.
Best song of the 80s.Powerhouse video as well🙉
Gar but yup
Exactly!
ANNIE LENNOX IS SUPERIOR TO PINK IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE
@Angel Bulldog Yeah, but if they toured together, I'd certainly be in the crowd. Possibly multiple nights. They are BOTH great performers.
(Not sure Annie would be swinging off the rafters though)
Who's Still Here In 2024 ?
😎
Yup. Badass tune. ❤
Me
Me
Me
She is awesome in every way
Before this song came out, I don't think anyone really knew how powerful her voice was.
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
A f ing men bro. Annie Lennox is SO underrated. One of the greatest female voices of all time.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
No matter how much time has passed as long as people love the music then it never goes out of style and it is forever.
The way Dave Stewart opens the song with the catchy riff, then points to jump-start the brass, then resume his tasty riff was incredible.
It's not just the singing, it's all her movements. A true actress, performer
True
A prime example of music of the ‘80’s ❤️
She OWNS that stage. Being in that band with her must be amazing.
I love watching Annie strut her way through this song.
She is magnificent!
Man, Annie can sing! Awesome voice and stage presence.
Congratulations to Annie and Dave of Eurythmics for their induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame earlier this year. There are cool pictures on-line.
Also, congratulations to Eurythmics for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Nov. 2022 which is soon now. 🏆
Edit: Ceremony is in LA on Nov. 5, 2022 broadcasting now in Nov on HBO.
*Broadcasting now*
Annie Lennox didn't talk about female power and breaking down walls....She just did it and roared through the 80's this a lot of good music.
But she did, at least once, with Aretha Franklin. Sistas were doin' it for themselves.
love the comment
That was a good song, too. (Not quite as good as "Would I Lie To You", but then what is? ;-) )
James Smith sigh, Annie was my first crush after seeing "sweet dreams", well, her and lydia deetz from beetlejuice
you know the score
Still watching January 14, 2021! Love Annie Lennox! This sister got SOUL!!! After all these years it STILL gets me
march 8 2021..........same...give me Annie!
Exactly!!!!
me to aug 28th 2021 annie is amazing hugs from sweden

🤘❤✌🇬🇧
WHITE SOUL ! ♥️
One of the most beautiful women of rock and a voice that would put any female singer to shame rock on Annie ❤️
One of the most powerful voices to ever sing! Not one singer today could go toe to toe with Annie Lennnox in her day! Not one!!!!!
OH BUT THERE IS ONE! That one is Ann Wilson of Heart!!!
Plenty of great Voices are out there.. Annie is my absolute queen, but c'mon. Jennifer Hudson for example.
@@allengodwin164 he said to today
Means today's new artists
Not Legendary singers
@@Manageode
JHud
Can sang her tale off
But she couldn't do rock
@@cjturner370 She doesn't need to do rock. Rock is past tense.
After more than 30 years, this track more than stands up and the test of time
I'd forgotten just how powerful this song is!
Annie Cristina and Aretha. God if they could have done a song together.
If Annie Christine and Aretha could have done a song together. I always wished I could have gotten them in the studio together.
@@earlebrodie8026 Hey Earle, please pardon my profound ignorance....Christine?? However Aretha & Annie did a song together "Sisters are doing it for themselves" czcams.com/video/n5mcaq9FaxQ/video.html stacks up pretty well vbr Earle.
@@TheWesternunionman The "80's" were everything.... I'm here in 2020 and there is nothing that can remotely compare to this. Three decades and we have songs that can still knock us off our asses.
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. Enough said.
Never been anybody like Annie till YET.
No flash, no legions of backup dancers, no hippity hoppity overly choreographed dance routines. Just talent and stage presence. Period. Fantastic!
I call those “artists” the “glitz and glamour set”: not a lot of talent but a lot of pizzazzz.
Very well said..... They be gettin' down.......
Thigh slap, it's time to go
@@jakesauce9473 Amen
To be fair, this is everything you're opposed to in your comment, except you agree...
the arrangement of this song is just awesome. the horns, backup vocals, percussion, and most of all, THE GUITAR, and of course, Annie, PLUS the motorcycle sounds, make this song just EPIC! Thank you, Eurythmics!
Annie is just so dope- she doesn't lie to anyone- while putting an incredible Arethra n this song, it's fucking great Annie all the way!!
+arklat So good.
+Charles Loveday Annie Lennox and Joss Stone are the only Two White Girls who can hold their own with Al Green and Aretha Franklin.
And Annie looks smokin HAWT!!!!
zipper179
lol...you shud vid n upload...
Annie's so intensely beautiful here.
She's an angel!
By far the best kickass video of all time! Never gets old ...✨🎸🍻🤘😎
Anne Lennox has such a great voice. The song "Why" is a masterpiece.
Pull out the Diva album on a regular basis. This one is what got Annie on my radar.
Totally agree.
Indeed.
Viva Annie Lennox ! Thanks for showing us all how to be powerful, strong, beautiful and utterly feminine.
go girl go
Annie was beautiful, and Dave ROCKED!!!👍🎸❤️
One of the most productive bands in the 1980s. They realised magnificent albums practically every year back in the 80s.
I love the sheer energy in this song.
Tom C.
Tom,
I do believe you hit the nail square on the head. Sheer energy describes this track perfectly. Careful though. A buddy told me that" perfection exists only in the eye of God." I think he said Allah but isn't that the arabic word for God???? Take care and be good. Peace
Annie Lennox is a pure explosion in music. Brilliant!
She gives me goosebumps every time I hear her sing. ❤
Summer of 1985. Such a great song for that summer...
Wow.. super strong vocals. No wonder they were so popular in the 80s (I still love em).
She was up there with Pat Benatar and Stevie Nicks. One of my favorites growing up
too cool ...... class of 73.. ASU.....Texas
She could blow those black girls out of the studio
@@vincentwhitley8197 That was never her intention. The ‘ black girls’ totally added to her performance. Racist per chance?
Y
Wasn't expecting that. American Gospel. Eurythmics are full of surprises.
Paul UK Annie Lennox IS a soul singer without a doubt. As an artist and singer/ performer she maximized her back up singers much like a gospel choir, esp in the "call and response" echoing the chorus. Annie is genius, yes...
Trained in opera.
You must not have heard "Sisters Are Doing It..." or "Missionary Man" before writing that. Joyful listening to you!
Paul and Ancila: Annie is a CONTRALTO voice, 1 of the voices more associated with Gospel, Soul or Blues...
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.
She is a Queen in music for sure
@@tanbranwin6322 I do hope you get to see her live some day. It was extraordinary to hear her. Happy Friday back! 🥰
Favorite Eurythmics song. Back when music had soul and didn’t suck.
She is so unbelievably beautiful. So much talent. Love Annie!
nice to be alive and young then...thanks Eurythmics!
Some songs immediately take you back in time and all of those happy and warm memories come flooding back. This is one of them. I can remember exactly when this song came out. ❤❤
Annie was on a level by herself. Hard to find someone with her range and raw power.
Chrissie Hynde and Kate Bush are two
Still is
Friday Night Videos, Commodore 64, Saturday morning cartoons, my dirt bike, and amazing songs like this to provide the soundtrack to my childhood. Folks, it was THAT good!!
Gen X forever, millennials never! \m/
Wow mentioning Friday Night Videos! Does that bring back fond memories.
philaman1972 I still have my Commodore 64. Would spend hours on that thing, but with no internet I can't remember what I was doing while on it. I do remember buying a baud modem so that I could communicate with my friend 250 miles away.
I don't think many people remember Friday Night Videos. I always stayed up to watch. I had an Amiga 500.
philaman1972 yeah
one of the greatest voices of all time
Such a powerful voice but when you talks in an interview she is so soft sounding...incredible
The raw energy of Annie is fantastic. Love Dave's guitar 🎸 playing,horn section and their backup singers are great. To say nothing of her kicking her lowlife b/f to the curb. Excellent job!
One of the best vocalists ever.
Totally agree.
Have nothing but respect for this woman,absolutely stunning
acoustically, A true artist in every sense. most likely the best live
voice I've ever heard. love to see her live again!!!!
Agree 100%
Her voice is like so amazing!
The stand out female singer of the 80’s, 90’s. Absolutely amazing!
She saw a loser hitting a woman at a gig I was at in NZ. Stopped the show called him out, got the crowd to acknowlege what was happening. Great gal
Cook the man some eggs
This lady is pure class and talent!!🥰
::: the stuff we used to watch on MTv and hear on Radio...poor kids of today...
Yeah, growing up in the '80s was the best.
+Captain Quirk so true we great music videos
santiago2u i know right? great days still miss them 😧😧
Nothin' wrong with saying "I know, right?". It may be an overused phrase, but it gets the job done (signifying strong agreement), which is why it's used so much.
AMEN!
I’m still here. Love Lennox and the Eurythmics 2024
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.
Her look is timeless. You'd never know this video came out in the 80s
when Annie walks out onto that stage, SHE OWNS IT!!!! and everybody in that room...what a woman!!!!
One of the greatest songs from the 80s. Still sounds awesome 40 years later!
Good old days I miss them so much ❤❤❤
Annie Lennox... A legendary voice and Dave Stewart, a brilliant songwriter & producer.
Annie Lennox legend of a voice .
37 years ago today. Thanks Dave an' Annie!
I had the honor of running front of house sound for the legendary Ms. Gladys Knight and I believe that qualifies me to say that the legendary Ms. Annie Lennox is in the same catagory of greatness.
She's got that walk down too!!!
love the female backup vocals singing like The supremes
Very correct.
First time I heard this song I didn’t quite get it. The harmonies she uses in the backing tracks were so unusual. Way more dramatic than normal harmonies. Now I see how powerful they were. This is an iconic kick-ass “fuck-you I’m outta here” rock song.
Claud Whissery That's what made the song!
I think I'm in love with the girl in the center. When she slapped her thighs and starts grooving at 1:16 that was it, I'm smitten.
Lalake sa septic tank awesome
This woman, had an amazing and powerful voice! Love this song!
The horns were amazing!
One of the best voices to come out of Britain in the 80's, Annie Lennox could, and still can, sing anything well. She and Dave Stewart (on guitar here) date back to their days with the Tourists in the 70's and made some very good records as both friends and lovers over the years.
I bought " Don't say I told you so " when I was 7 and a half in 1980 😃
+blindtoby Bizarre ....??
blindtoby The Genesis of a Revelation,huh...
RJ McAllister i love her but Alison moyet Paul young boy George George Michael etc 😎😎
Too many to handle...:-)
By far, the best Eurythmics song ever! Love the video. Annie in her little black dress.....
2023 and my 8 year old son LOVES this song as much as I do! 🥰🙌🏻💫
Annie Lennox rocks then and now
Never has a little black dress looked so good.
guydreamr Well, not since Aubrey Hepburn.
She's a beautiful woman in face and figure, and that porcelain skin! Many women would kill to look like that.
@@No1KCfan6 um yes hehe?
Too true...
@@No1KCfan6 Would you like to keep your vulgar comments to yourself?
The Lady has a magnificent set of lungs! Believe me...Would I lie to you! She reaches all up and down the scales like its so natural! Love her vibratos, dang...i pack my bags, i clean the floor, now you watch me walking out da door! Uha! Believe me! Love this!😀Ill make it, make it!
Such great composition, harmony and choreography!
they way she takes the stage....gorgeous
This performance grabbed and elated me just like it did in the 80's. Still holds up.. Still got JUICE
That my dear friends is as hot as it gets ...PERIOD
true hot it is.she is
This is definitely one of my favorite songs/vids from Annie/Eurythmics...she has always been so freakin’ HOT!
Damn straight!
Those big blue eyes of hers are killer.
Shes in leauge of her own legend
Welcome to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Much Deserved.
