Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Eurythmics · Live 1983 - 1989 (Disc 1)
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas,
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'.
