A Little Of You
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
There used to be a time
I wore my heart upon my sleeve.
There used to be a time
I'd show my gentle side to anyone
Through these years of wandering
I know I've been deceived.
Through these years of wandering...
And everytime you try to hurt me
You know you'll only hurt yourself.
And everytime you try to hurt me
I know you'll be the one to suffer
When you think you're hurting someone.
A little of you - a little of me -
A little of you -
Is hurting someone -
Don't tell me I'm the only one
'Cause I don't need that space.
Don't ask for love
I'll throw it back in your face.
All of these promises
Were only made to break.
All of these promises...
A little of you - a little of me -
A little of you -
Is hurting someone -
I wore my heart upon my sleeve.
There used to be a time
I'd show my gentle side to anyone
Through these years of wandering
I know I've been deceived.
Through these years of wandering...
And everytime you try to hurt me
You know you'll only hurt yourself.
And everytime you try to hurt me
I know you'll be the one to suffer
When you think you're hurting someone.
A little of you - a little of me -
A little of you -
Is hurting someone -
Don't tell me I'm the only one
'Cause I don't need that space.
Don't ask for love
I'll throw it back in your face.
All of these promises
Were only made to break.
All of these promises...
A little of you - a little of me -
A little of you -
Is hurting someone -
A Little Of You
Released on the 2005 compilation album Boxed, 'A Little Of You' features Annie Lennox's distinctive vocal delivery characteristic of Eurythmics' new wave sound. The track serves as a poignant addition to the band's discography, reflecting their signature blend of electronic production and emotive songwriting. While the song does not appear on their major studio releases from the 1980s, its inclusion in Boxed highlights the enduring appeal of their catalog. The recording maintains the atmospheric quality found in their earlier work, utilizing synthesizers and layered vocals to create a moody, introspective listening experience that defines the group's artistic identity during this era.
