Do You Want To Break Up

Eurythmics · Savage

Yea... oh yea... yea...
Do you want to break-up?

I've got a heavy heart
Got heart filled full of lead.
Pocket full of heartache
(Car crash in my head).
I've got a steady hand
Gonna lead me to my home.
Take me up to heaven
(Heaven's where I'm goin')...

Yea... oh yea... yea...
Do you want to break-up?

I've seen trouble
I looked right up to its face
Never tried to turn away.
And I've been sad
I've been overjoyed
So let me disembrace you now
My little trouble boy...

Yea... oh yea... yea...
Do you want to break-up?

You took me to the ocean
Dropped me like a stone.
Took me to the deep blue ocean.
I don't wanna stay there baby
I don't wanna swim alone

Yea... oh yea... yea...
Do you want to break-up?

Do You Want To Break Up

Released in 1983 on the Eurythmics' debut album Savage, 'Do You Want To Break Up' stands as a defining track of the new wave and synth-pop era. Written by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, the song blends atmospheric synthesizers with Lennox's distinctive vocal delivery to explore themes of relationship anxiety and emotional vulnerability. As one of the band's earliest works, it helped establish their signature sound, characterized by minimalist arrangements and a fusion of electronic textures with organic instrumentation. The track remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the raw energy and introspective mood that defined their early career before they evolved into a more complex sonic landscape.
