Right By Your Side
Eurythmics Lyrics


Give me two strong arms
To protect myself
Give me so much love
That I forget myself
I need to swing from limb to limb
To relieve this mess I'm in
'Cause when depression starts to win
I need to be right by your side

No one seems to touch me
In the way you do
Nothing seems to hurt me
When I'm close to you
I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side

Every single one of us needs
Love, love, love
Everybody needs to give and receive love
Every single day can drag us
Down, down, down
But there's nothing left to fear
When love gets into town

I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side

Eurythmics were a British pop duo consisting of members Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. Stewart and Lennox were both previously in The Tourists, a band which broke up in 1980; Eurythmics were formed later that year in Wagga Wagga, Australia. The duo released their first studio album, In the Garden, in 1981 to little success, but went on to achieve global success when their second album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), was released in 1983. The title track became a worldwide hit which topped the charts in various countries including the US.

The duo released their first studio album, In the Garden, in 1981 to little success, but went on to achieve global success when their second album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), was released in 1983. The title track became a worldwide hit which topped the charts in various countries including the US. The duo went on to release a string of hit singles and albums before they split up in 1990. By this time, Stewart was a sought-after record producer, while Lennox began a solo recording career in 1992 with her debut album Diva. After almost a decade apart, Eurythmics reunited to record their ninth album, Peace, released in late 1999. They reunited again in 2005 to release the single "I've Got a Life", as part of a new Eurythmics compilation album, Ultimate Collection.

The duo have won an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in 1984, the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1987, the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 1999, and in 2005 were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame. The Eurythmics have sold an estimated 75 million records worldwide. In 2017, the group was nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and were nominated again in 2018.

Some songs are just pure fun and joy. This is one of them.

I loved this often-overlooked hit because we saw a lighter, happier side of Annie Lennox for the first time in a video. And it’s just an amazing song. I wish the 1980s had never ended. Real talent, brighter times, brighter colours, and fun videos. I miss Eurythmics.

Kaylene

Totally loved this song! It wasn't given enough air time, still isn't.

Slaughterhouse5

@Richard Dryden How true! The 80s were great for a lot of reasons.

Richard Dryden

Its a great tune wish we could bring them back and the 80s too. They were such great times for music and fashion and everyone so much happier than today.x

Dion Campbell

It is magnifico!!!

Janus Conner

Easily the most underrated hit song by the dynamic duo. I distinctly remember loving it instantly and eternally β€οΈπŸ’•

Bobby M

Pure joy. This has always been my favorite Eurythmics song--bouncy, upbeat and fun--and topped off by the amazing singing of Annie Lennox. The video is great too!

Severiano De Leon

This song makes me feel like I can take on the world again, after being sad.

DrAnjan Chatterjee

Ebullient happy and chirpy Annie so well supported by Dave and the other band members. Takes us back in the time machine, making us relive those gala 1980's years. Very underrated song but among the Top ones in my list from Annie with Eurythmics.
