Dancing Queen lyrics

You can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life
see that girl, watch that scene
dig in the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
looking out for the place to go
where they play the right music
getting in the swing
you come to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
night is young and the music's high
with a bit of rock music
everything is fine
you're in the mood for a dance
and when you get the chance

You are the Dancing Queen
young and sweet only seventeen
Dancing Queen
feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
you can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life
see that girl, watch that scene
dig in the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
leave 'em burning and then you're gone
looking out for another
anyone will do
you're in the mood for a dance
and when you get the chance

You are the Dancing Queen
young and sweet only seventeen
Dancing Queen
feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
you can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life
see that girl, watch that scene
dig in the Dancing Queen

Does Your Mother Know lyrics

You're so hot, teasing me
so you're blue
but I can't take a chance
on a chick like you
it's something I couldn't do
there's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face
that your feelings
are driving you wild
ah, but girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
if you think it's funny
but does your mother know
that you're out
and I can chat with you baby
flirt a little maybe
but does your mother know
that you're out
take it easy
better slow down girl
that's no way to go
does your mother know
take it easy
try to cool it girl
take it nice and slow
does your mother know

I can see what you want
but you seem pretty young
to be searching for that kind of fun
so maybe I'm not the one
now you're so cute
I like your style
and I know what you mean
when you give me
a flash of that smile
but girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
if you think it's funny
but does your mother know
that you're out
and I can chat with you baby
flirt a little maybe
but does your mother know
that you're out
take it easy
better slow down girl
that's no way to go
does your mother know
take it easy
try to cool it girl
take it nice and slow
does your mother know

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) lyrics

Half past twelve
and I'm watchin' the late show
in my flat all alone
how I hate to spend
the evening on my own
autumn winds
blowin' outside the window
as I look around the room
and it makes me so
depressed to see the gloom
there's not a soul out there
no one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day

Movie stars
find the end of the rainbow
with a fortune to win
it's so different from
the world I'm living in
tired of TV
I open the window
and I gaze into the night
but there's nothing there to see
no one in sight
there's not a soul out there
no one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day

Honey Honey lyrics

Honey, honey - how you thrill me, aha, honey honey
honey, honey - nearly kill me, aha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
and now I know what they mean
you're a love machine
(oh, you make me dizzy)

Honey, honey - let me feel it, aha, honey honey
honey, honey - don't conceal it, aha, honey honey
the way that you kiss goodnight
the way that you hold me tight
I feel like I wanna sing
when you do your thing

I don't wanna hurt you baby
I don't wanna see you cry
so stay on the ground girl
you better not get too high
but I'm gonna stick to you boy
you'll never get rid of me
there's no other place in this world
where I rather would be

Honey, honey - touch me baby, aha, honey honey
honey, honey - hold me baby, aha, honey honey
you look like a movie star
but I know just who you are
and honey to say the least
you're a doggone beast

So stay on the ground girl
you better not get too high

There's no other place in this world
where I rather would be

Honey, honey - how you thrill me, aha, honey honey
honey, honey - nearly kill me, aha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
and now I know what they mean
you're a love machine
(oh, you make me dizzy)

I Have a Dream lyrics

I have a dream
a song to sing
to help me cope
with anything
if you see the wonder
of a fairy tale
you can take the future
even if you fail
I believe in angels
something good in
everything I see
I believe in angels
when I know the time
is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

I have a dream
a fantasy
to help me through
reality
and my destination
makes it worth the while
pushing through the darkness
still another mile
I believe in angels
something good in
everything I see
I believe in angels
when I know the time
is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

Lay All Your Love On Me lyrics

I wasn't jealous before we met
now every woman I see
is a potential threat
and I'm possessive
it isn't nice
you've heard me saying
that smoking was my only vice
but now it isn't true
now everything is new
and all I've learned
has overturned
I beg of you

Don't go wasting your emotion
lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
a little small talk
a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know
what you've done with me
a grown-up woman
should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
when I don't have you near
unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you dear

Don't go wasting your emotion
lay all your love on me
don't go sharing your devotion
lay all your love on me

I've had a few little love affairs
they didn't last very long
and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
it makes the truth
even more incomprehensible
'cause everything is new
and everything is you
and all I've learned
has overturned
what can I do

Don't go wasting your emotion
lay all your love on me
don't go sharing your devotion
lay all your love on me

Mamma Mia lyrics

I've been cheated by you
since I don't know when
so I made up my mind
it must come to an end
look at me now
will I ever learn
I don't know how
but I suddenly lose control
there's a fire within my soul
just one look and I can hear a bell ring
one more look
and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
my, my, how can I resist you
mamma mia, does it show again
my, my, just how much I've missed you
yes, I've been broken-hearted
blue since the day we parted
why, why did I ever let you go
mamma mia, now I really know
my, my, I could never let you go

I've been angry and sad
about things that you do
I can't count all the times
that I've told you we're through
and when you go
when you slam the door
I think you know
that you won't be away too long
you know that I'm not that strong
just one look and I can hear a bell ring
one more look
and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
my, my, how can I resist you
mamma mia, does it show again
my, my, just how much I've missed you
yes, I've been broken-hearted
blue since the day we parted
why, why did I ever let you go
mamma mia, even if I say
bye, bye, leave me now or never
mamma mia, it's a game we play
bye, bye doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
my, my, how can I resist you
mamma mia, does it show again
my, my, just how much I've missed you
yes, I've been broken-hearted
blue since the day we parted
why, why did I ever let you go
mamma mia, now I really know
my, my, I could never let you go

Money Money Money lyrics

I work all night, I work all day
to pay the bills I have to pay
ain't it sad
and still there never seems to be
a single penny left for me
that's too bad
in my dreams I have a plan
if I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all
I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
must be funny
in the rich man's world
money, money, money
always sunny
in the rich man's world
aha, aha
all the things I could do
if I had a little money
it's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find
but I can't get him off my mind
ain't it sad
and if he happens to be free
I bet he wouldn't fancy me
that's too bad
so I must leave, I'll have to go
to Las Vegas or Monaco
and win a fortune in a game
my life will never be the same

Money, money, money
must be funny
in the rich man's world
money, money, money
always sunny
in the rich man's world
aha, aha
all the things I could do
if I had a little money
it's a rich man's world

Our Last Summer lyrics

The summer air was soft and warm
the feeling right, the Paris night
did its best to please us
and strolling down the Elysee
we had a drink in each cafe
and you
you talked of politics, philosophy and I
smiled like Mona Lisa
we had our chance
it was a fine and true romance

I can still recall
our last summer
I still see it all
walks along the Seine
laughing in the rain
our last summer
memories that remain

We made our way along the river
and we sat down in the grass
by the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
it was the age of no regret
oh yes
those crazy years, that was the time
of the flower power
but underneath we had a fear of flying
of getting old
a fear of slowly dying
we took the chance
like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall
our last summer
I still see it all
in the tourist jam
'round the Notre Dame
our last summer
walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
our last summer
morning croissants
living for the day
worries far away
our last summer
we could laugh and play

And now you're working in a bank
the family man, a football fan
and your name is Harry
how dull it seems
yet you're the hero of my dreams

I can still recall
our last summer
I still see it all
walks along the Seine
laughing in the rain
our last summer
memories that remain
I can still recall
our last summer
I still see it all
in the tourist jam
'round the Notre Dame
our last summer
walking hand in hand

Slipping Through My Fingers lyrics

Schoolbag in hand
she leaves home
in the early morning
waving goodbye
with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go
with a surge of
that well known sadness
and I have to sit down
for a while
the feeling that I'm
loosing her forever
and without really
entering her world
I'm glad whenever I
can share her laughter
that funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers
all the time
I try to capture
every minute
the feeling in it
slipping through my fingers
all the time
do I really see what's
in her mind
each time I think
I'm close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers
all the time

Sleep in our eyes
her and me
at the breakfast table
barely awake I
let precious time go by
then when she's gone
there's that odd
melancholy feeling
and a a sense of
guilt I can't deny
what happened to the
wonderful adventures
the places I had
planned for us to go
well some of that we did
but most we didn't
and why I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers
all the time
I try to capture
every minute
the feeling in it
slipping through my fingers
all the time
do I really see what's
in her mind
each time I think
I'm close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers
all the time

Sometimes I wish
that I could freeze
the picture
and save it from
the funny tricks of time
slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand
she leaves home
in the early morning
waving goodbye
with an absent-minded smile

SOS lyrics

Where are those happy days
they seem so hard to find?
I try to reach for you
but you have closed your mind
whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
it used to be so nice
it used to be so good

So when you're near me
darling can't you hear me
SOS
the love you gave me
nothing else can save me
SOS
when you're gone
how can I even try to go on
when you're gone
though I try how can I carry on

You seem so far away
though you are standing near
you made me feel alive
but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
what happened to our love?
It used to be so good

So when you're near me
darling can't you hear me
SOS
the love you gave me
nothing else can save me
SOS
when you're gone
how can I even try to go on
when you're gone
though I try how can I carry on

Super Trouper lyrics

Super Trouper
beams are gonna blind me
but I won't feel blue
like I always do
'cause somewhere in the
crowd there's you

I was sick and tired
of everything
when I called you
last night from Glasgow
all I do is eat
and sleep and sing
wishing every show
was the last show
so imagine I was
glad to hear you're coming
suddenly I feel all right
and it's gonna be
so different when
I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me
shining like the sun
smiling, having fun
feeling like a number one
tonight the
Super Trouper
beams are gonna blind me
but I won't feel blue
like I always do
'cause somewhere in the
crowd there's you

Facing twenty thousand
of your friends
how can anyone
be so lonely
part of a success
that never ends
still I'm thinking
about you only
there are moments when I
think I'm going crazy
but it's gonna be alright
everything will be
so different when
I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me
shining like the sun
smiling, having fun
feeling like a number one
tonight the
Super Trouper
beams are gonna blind me
but I won't feel blue
like I always do
'cause somewhere in the
crowd there's you

So I'll be there
when you arrive
the sight of you
will prove to me
I'm still alive
and when you take
me in your arms
and hold me tight
I know it's gonna
mean so much tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me
shining like the sun
smiling, having fun
feeling like a number one
tonight the
Super Trouper
beams are gonna blind me
but I won't feel blue
like I always do
'cause somewhere in the
crowd there's you

Take a Chance On Me lyrics

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
honey I'm still free
take a chance on me
if you need me
let me know
gonna be around
if you got no place to go
when you're feeling down
if you're all alone
when the pretty birds have flown
honey I'm still free
take a chance on me
gonna do my very best
and it ain't no lie
if you put me to the test
if you let me try
take a chance on me
(that's all I ask of you honey)
take a chance on me

We can go dancing
we can go walking
as long as we're together
listen to some music
maybe just talking
you'd get to know me better
'cause you know I've got
so much that I wanna do
when I dream I'm alone with you
it's magic
you want me to leave it there
afraid of a love affair
but I think you know
that I can't let go

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
honey I'm still free
take a chance on me
if you need me
let me know
gonna be around
if you got no place to go
when you're feeling down
if you're all alone
when the pretty birds have flown
honey I'm still free
take a chance on me
gonna do my very best
and it ain't no lie
if you put me to the test
if you let me try
take a chance on me
(come on, give me a break will ya)
take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby
I'm in no hurry
I know I'm gonna get you
you don't wanna hurt me
baby don't worry
I ain't gonna let you
let me tell you now
my love is strong enough
to last when things are rough
it's magic
you say that I waste my time
but I can't get you off my mind
no I can't let go
'cause I love you so

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
honey I'm still free
take a chance on me
if you need me
let me know
gonna be around
if you got no place to go
when you're feeling down
if you're all alone
when the pretty birds have flown
honey I'm still free
take a chance on me
gonna do my very best
baby can't you see
gotta put me to the test
take a chance on me

The Name Of The Game lyrics

I've seen you twice
in a short time
only a week since we started
it seems to me
for every time
I'm getting more openhearted

I was an impossible case
no one ever could reach me
but I think
I can see in your face
there's a lot you can teach me
so I wanna know

What's the name of the game
does it mean anything to you
what's the name of the game
can you feel it the way I do

Tell me please
'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child
beginning to grow

And you make me talk
and you make me feel
and you make me show
what I'm trying to conceal
if I trust in you
would you let me down
would you laugh at me

If I said I care for you
could you feel the same way too
I wanna know
the name of the game

I have no friends
no one to see
and I am never invited
now I am here
talking to you
no wonder I get excited

Your smile
and the sound of your voice
and the way you see through me
got a feeling
you give me no choice
but it means a lot to me
so I wanna know

What's the name of the game
does it mean anything to you
what's the name of the game
can you feel it the way I do

Tell me please
'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child
beginning to grow

And you make me talk
and you make me feel
and you make me show
what I'm trying to conceal
if I trust in you
would you let me down
would you laugh at me

If I said I care for you
could you feel the same way too
I wanna know
Oh yes I wanna know
the name of the game

The Winner Takes It All lyrics

I don't wanna talk
about the things we've gone through
though it's hurting me
now it's history
I've played all my cards
and that's what you've done too
nothing more to say
no more ace to play

The winner takes it all
the loser standing small
beside the victory
that's her destiny

I was in your arms
thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
building me a fence
building me a home
thinking I'd be strong there
but I was a fool
playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
their minds as cold as ice
and someone way down here
loses someone dear
the winner takes it all
the loser has to fall
it's simple and it's plain
why should I complain

But tell me does she kiss
like I used to kiss you
does it feel the same
when she calls your name
somewhere deep inside
you must know I miss you
but what can I say
rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
the likes of me abide
spectators of the show
always staying low
the game is on again
a lover or a friend
a big thing or a small
the winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk
if it makes you feel sad
and I understand
you've come to shake my hand
I apologize
if it makes you feel bad
seeing me so tense
no self-confidence

But you see
the winner takes it all

Voulez-Vous lyrics

People everywhere
a sense of expectation
hangin' in the air
givin' out a spark
across the room your eyes
are glowin' in the dark
and here we go again
we know the start
we know the end
masters of the scene
we've done it all before
and now we're back
to get some more
you know what I mean

Voulez-vous
take it now or leave it
now is all we get
nothing promised,
no regrets
voulez-vous
ain't no big decision
you know what to do
la question
c'est voulez-vous
voulez-vous

I know what you think
the girl means business
so I'll offer her a drink -
lookin' mighty proud
I see you leave your table
pushin' through the crowd
I'm really glad you came
you know the rules
you know the game
master of the scene
we've done it all before
and now we're back
to get some more
you know what I mean

Voulez-vous
take it now or leave it
now is all we get
nothing promised,
no regrets
voulez-vous
ain't no big decision
you know what to do
la question

And here we go again
we know the start
we know the end
masters of the scene
we've done it all before
and now we're back
to get some more

nothing promised,

When All Is Said And Done lyrics

Here's to us
one more toast
and then we'll pay the bill
deep inside
both of us
can feel the autumn chill
birds of passage
you and me
we fly instinctively
when the summer's over
and the dark clouds hide the sun
neither you nor I'm to blame
when all is said and done

In our lives
we have walked
some strange and lonely treks
slightly worn
but dignified
and not too old for sex
we're still striving for the sky
no taste for humble pie
thanks for all your generous love
and thanks for all the fun
neither you nor I'm to blame
when all is said and done

It's so strange
when you're down
and lying on the floor
how you rise
shake your head
get up and ask for more
clear-headed and open-eyed
with nothing left untried
standing calmly at the crossroads
no desire to run
there's no hurry any more
when all is said and done
