blowing out the flame of you:


I love Annie Lennox, have all her albums on iPods.  I love her solo work but I still love her work as the //eurythmics.  One of my favorite songs is, I think (but have not checked) from her Eurythmics days.

Do you feel sorry, lover?
Do you feel blue?
What reason did you have
To be untrue?
Now you could be so good
But you have to be so bad
When you could make me happy, lover?
You make me sad
Now there's a cool breeze blowin'
Blowin' out the flame
That used to burn inside me
At the mention of your name
Now there's a cool breeze blowin'
Blowin' down the track
That's where I'm goin'
And I'm never comin' back
My, my, baby's gonna cry
My, my, baby's gonna cry
My, my, baby's gonna cry
Tonight, oh, yea
Now there's nothing, comes from nothing
That's what they always say
Didn't mama tell ya?
That's the price you have to pay?
Now you can't have your piece of cake
And eat the sweet thing too
But that kind of understanding
Isn't good enough for you
My, my, baby's gonna cry
Songwriters
LENNOX, ANNIE / STEWART, DAVID ALLAN
