Eurythmics - Love Is A Stranger Lyrics






Love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

Love is a danger
Of a different kind
To take you away
And leave you far behind
And love love love
Is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it
And you still can't
Get enough of the stuff

It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

It's guilt edged
Glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

  1. M.... T....

    ANNIE, AND YOUR "" ATMOSPHERE ANDROGYNOUS"", I'Ts A PEACH "SEXY GIRL'",I'Ts A HONEY "DRESS MAN"!!!!!!!!!!

  2. E.... W....

    This video is a masterpiece.

  3. D.... C....

    The short hair really doesn't suit her

  4. t.... p....

    So beautiful

  5. t.... ....

    She is so glamorous!!!!!

  6. A.... C....

    Dear God that sampling!!!! I can't take it!!!! :-X aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!

  7. T.... E....

    was this music video originally in 16x9 or was it just brutally cropped for a mindless reason??
    Would you please upload the original 4x3 video? An 80s music video in 16x9 is an oxymoron.

  8. J.... E....

    I love you

  9. A.... J....

    Originally released in November 1982. It wasn't a hit in the UK until April 1983 following Sweet Dreams getting to number two.

  10. c.... ....

    2020 and still one of the most badass videos and songs of all time.

  11. D.... V....

    Who is listing 2020 februari

  12. B.... T....

    Best song they did

  13. S.... T....

    This song, her voice, the video, looks... All to die for <3

  14. T.... K....

    Video yeni çekilmiş galiba, cep telefonu var klipte !

  15. R.... X....

    Temaso .me encanta

  16. r.... s....

    Watch her sing i need a man WOW.

  17. D.... M....

    Probably not a popular opinion, but I far prefer this song to the much overplayed "sweet dreams" - far more layered ...... although what is it with Dave Stewart's orgasm sounds throughout it :)

  18. a.... c....

    Anne looks so fucking hot with that sexy wig, WOW!

  19. B.... P....

    Don't mistake kindness for weakness with this song

  20. P.... C....

    Top music ! ⚜️🥀⚜️🖤⚜️

  21. M.... ....

    I thought that song was about wanting circumcision.

  22. Z.... E....

    The intro is very similar to FR David's "words" I like both songs

  23. W.... P....

    This woman's vocals.. I just cant get enough

  24. m.... ....

    No. Thing. Better. Than. The. 80s.

  25. S.... ....

    So this is where “I can change” came from? Amazing.

  26. a.... p....

    My god, how beautiful was she :-) (Still is)

  27. D.... S....

    Watch dressed to kill with Michael Caine n nancy Allen. See where got idea for video x x

  28. F.... F....

    She is the very definition of strong femininity and sexuality, without having all your parts on show

  29. Q.... g....

    She is a brilliant artist great voice so diverse yet relatable her music carries over time I'm listening in 2020 totally classic will last for years to come

    Q.... g....

    Oh yeah it will

  30. A.... S....

    Die Frau hat das gewisse etwas

  31. D.... P....

    makes you realise how great 80's music was compared to today's crap.

  32. J.... C....

    My favourite Eurythmics song and in 2020 still as good as the day it was released 💖💖💖💖

  33. M.... ....

    Far out to think I was just a young buck back then, closing my eye's while listening to this & going back in time.. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  34. J.... A....

    It’s 14 million views though I barely heard this song

  35. P.... F....

    Make a great Bond theme

  36. S.... C....

    I grew up with her music...i always thought along with class as an artist she had a true signifigant beauty,so erotic in her own vain.

  37. M.... M....

    I feel like a more suitable word is “lust” versus love in this song. Lust is a stranger in an open car .....

  38. D.... S....

    She’s an example of someone who just kept getting better. “Sweet Dreams” was never a favorite but every song after and her solo work was just off the charts perfection!

  39. E.... T....

    This song always reminds me of being a teen in Hollywood in the 80s with it's fun but seedy nightlife, late night to morning clubbing, hooker boys, The Odyssey, The Greenery Restaurant and everything that went with it!! Those of you "In the know" know what i'm talking about...

  40. J.... G....

    This is a great song. January 2020 we are listening to this rarity! 🎶

  41. R.... ....

    This is ''the total'' in artistic expresion !

  42. t.... t....

    Definitely one of the top 5 Powerhouse voices of the 80’s even to this day in 2020. Love you Annie

  43. D.... R....

    Luv this song and this vid, luv Annie,, everything about this is a fave.

  44. A.... R....

    Official means it's good right?

  45. D.... W....

    🏁🇯🇵🇺🇸

  46. S.... I....

    So few young people know how the Eurythmics were EPIC pioneers in videos of their songs. They took flack like you wouldn't believe - for this video at 1:09 when Annie took off her wig, MTV shutdown the broadcast of this video on the spot, and I believe they broadcast static for a short while. Why ?? Some idiots thought she was a transvestite and banned the video for a while. Also the video for George Orwell's 1984, they made the song and video for " Sex Crime ". Any educated person knows that has to do with in the novel, sex is illegal. What happened? The Eurythmics got blamed for singing a song glorifying rape!!! They endured a heck of a lot to pioneer the standard of the song video ! God Bless Annie and Dave!!!

    S.... I....

    Sweet dreams was written about the music industry. "Some of them want to abuse you" is talking about the things that Eurythmics had to endure as they felt the record companies were taking advantage of them and also cheated them out of money. They went through a lot.

  47. m.... 7....

    Absolutely insanely brilliant vocal arrangement! One of my favorite Eurythmics songs.

  48. J.... R....

    We needed this , in a time where some, like me ,only knew of Elton John in the 1970’s. And , yes, she did mimic David Bowie. She and Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, taught me a lot about what I missed in the 1970’s.

    J.... R....

    Eurythmics were around in the 1980s, just saying.

  49. g.... ....

    Love her yes!!

  50. A.... G....

    2020 anyone?

  51. A.... E....

    2020. She's still perfect....and Dave provides the perfect melodies for her supernatural voice

  52. A.... U....

    Her pupils are dilated and its the 80s and its synth pop who else can guess the answer?

    A.... U....

    We don't have to guess, Annie said she had be hard on Dave to give up drugs and he did.

  53. e.... a....

    2:20 he uses an Aigor!!!!

  54. J.... T....

    Happy New Year 2020 love my generation cool music forever

  55. M.... c....

    Maravilhosa.

  56. k.... k....

    i am listening to this song on January 1 of 2020

    k.... k....

    @Tracy Murray I'm here on the 10th of January 2020 Annie is f*cking rocking it as always ♥️🎶
    Her voice is power and beauty

    k.... k....

    @Jenny Adventure2 awesome song

    k.... k....

    so what?

    k.... k....

    @VityokChotkiy Be nice sir

    k.... k....

    @Jenny Adventure2 I am nice

  57. S.... H....

    Saw Eurythmics in late 80s in NY. Fantastic concert!

  58. J.... E....

    Me pone nostálgico

  59. t.... ....

    We had a (crude) saying in the Army, "I'd drink her bath water..." yeah, something like that.
    I was captivated the moment I saw this in '83 and this siren will never release me, I hope....

  60. T.... L....

    It did not matter how much I focused on the lyrics, there were some that I could not make out. So, I went to a lyrics site. Boy, what a dud song. Some 'Eurythmics' songs are unbelievable when it comes to piercing through a theme and laying it out. This was the opposite - reminiscent of some high school thoughts about love. I was/am disappointed.

    T.... L....

    Lust has never carried you away like a passenger in an open car and drove you far away from reason? Lucky you!

  61. B.... ....

    0:10 Aziraphale ?(good omens)

  62. C.... v....

    My favorite 80's song ever

  63. C.... I....

    make that 40 lol

  64. C.... I....

    love it as i always did 30years ago

  65. H.... C....

    The words are brilliant.
    And love love love
    Is a dangerous drug
    You have to receive it
    And you still can't
    Get enough of the stuff

  66. p.... F....

    I'm finally in loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee everyoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee let's celebrateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee😁😁😁😁💓💓💓💓💓💓
