Mamma Mia

 

(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)

 

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 brokenhearted

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 brokenhearted

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 brokenhearted

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

 

 

Hey, Hey Helen

 

(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)

 

So at last you're free

It's the way you wanted it to be

And the price you paid

To become a woman of today

Is it worth the pain to see the children cry?

Does it hurt when they ask for daddy?

 

Hey, hey Helen

Now you live on your own

Hey, hey Helen

Can you make it alone? (Yes, you can)

 

So you're free at last (lucky woman)

And beginning to forget the past (lucky woman)

Does it make you sad (being lonely)

When you think about the life you had?

But you're right, you had to take a second chance

So you fight to find your freedom

 

Hey, hey Helen

Now you live on your own

Hey, hey Helen

Can you make it alone?

 

Hey, hey Helen

What's the matter with you? (hey, hey Helen)

Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen)

Don't you know what to do? (Yes, you do)

 

A-ha, yes you do, yes, you do

A-ha, yes you do, yes, you do

 

Hey, hey Helen

Now you live on your own

Hey, hey Helen

Can you make it alone?

Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen)

What's the matter with you?

Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen)

Don't you know what to do?

Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen)

Now you live on your own

Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen) Can you make it alone

 

Tropical Loveland

 

(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)

 

Come to my loveland

Wander along beautiful gardens full of flowers and songs

Come to the sunshine, beaches and the sand

Listen to two bluebirds, won't you come to my land?

The grass is mellow and the sky is blue

My paradise is waiting here for you

 

It's a tropical loveland

I wanna share it with you

Life can be funny, happy and sunny

In my tropical loveland

 

Come to my loveland (to my loveland)

Wander with me (to my loveland) Lie with me darling in the shade of a tree (to my loveland)

Over the rainbow (to my loveland) Under the moon (to my loveland)

That's where my land is, won't you come to me soon?

Just take my hand, I'll show you everything

The secrets that my paradise can bring

 

It's a tropical loveland

I wanna share it with you

Life can be funny, happy and sunny

In my tropical loveland

 

It's a tropical loveland

I wanna share it with you (I wanna share it with you)

It's a tropical loveland (It's a tropical loveland)

I wanna share it with you

It's a tropical loveland

I wanna share it with you

 

 

S.O.S

 

(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)

 

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?

S.O.S

The love you gave me

Nothing else can save me

S.O.S

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

S.O.S

The love you gave me

Nothing else can save me

S.O.S

When you're gone

How can even I try to go on?

When you're gone

Though I try, how can I carry on?

 

So when you're near me

Darling can't you hear me

S.O.S

And the love you gave me

Nothing else can save me

S.O.S

When you're gone

How can I even try to go on?

When you're gone

Though I try, how can I carry on?

When you're gone

How can I even try to go on?

When you're gone

Though I try, how can I carry on?

 

 

Man In The Middle

 

(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus

 

Did you see that man

In the limousine?

With the pretty

Only, he's fifty and the girl's only seventeen

But she doesn't care

And she never will

If he's ninety-five

She don't give a damn

Just as long as he pays the bill

 

Did you see that man

With the fat cigar?

He just left his lunch

With a belly full of lobster and caviar

He can choose a wine

From a vintage year

He will drink champagne

In his limousine

When the rest of us drink a beer

 

'Cause he's the man in the middle

Never second fiddle

Just like a spider in a cobweb

Hard as a hammer

Not the kind of boss

You double-cross

'Cause he's the man in the middle

Knows the way to diddle

He's never bothered by his conscience

Deals with the Devil

'Cause he wants to be

Man in the middle

The middle

The middle

In the middle...

 

But you see that man

Made a big mistake

Even though he's got

All his servants and a mansion beside a lake

And the money too

All that he can't spend

He can buy the most

Nearly anything

But he can't buy in on his friend

 

'Cause he's the man in the middle

Never second fiddle

Just like a spider in a cobweb

Hard as a hammer

Not the kind of boss

You double-cross

'Cause he's the man in the middle

Knows the way to diddle

He's never bothered by his conscience

Deals with the Devil

'Cause he wants to be

Man in the middle

The middle

The middle

In the middle...

 

 

Bang-A-Boomerang

 

B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus

 

Making somebody happy is a question of give and take

You can learn how to show it, so come on, give yourself a break

Every smile and every little touch

Don't you know that they mean so much?

Sweet sweet kisses so tender

Always will return to sender?

 

Like a bang-a-boome-boomerang

Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum

Oh bang-a-boome-boomerang

Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum

By giving away, I think you'll learn

You'll get love in return

So bang-a-boome-boomerang is love

A boome-boomerang is love

 

Love is always around and you can look for it anywhere

When you feel that you've found it my advice is to take good care

Never use it as a selfish tool

Never ever be such a fool

Every feeling you're showing

Is a boomerang you're throwing

 

Yes, a bang-a-boome-boomerang

Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum

Oh bang-a-boome-boomerang

Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum

By giving away, I think you'll learn

You'll get love in return

So bang-a-boome-boomerang is love

 

And if you're warm and tender

I'll kiss you, return to sender

Please surrender

 

 

I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do

 

B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus

 

Love me or leave me

Make your choice but believe me

I love you

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

 

I can't conceal it

Don't you see?

Can't you feel it?

Don't you too?

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

 

Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past

Now I've just made it

I found you at last

So come on

Now let's try it

I love you

Can't deny it

'Cause it's true

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

 

Oh, no hard feelings between you and me

If we can't make it

But just wait and see

B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus

 

Rock me

Give me that kick now

Rock me

Roll me

You can do magic, baby

And I can't get enough of it

(Don't stop the rock

Wanna be, wanna be

Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, yeah

 

 

I've Been Waiting For You

 

B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus

 

I, I've been in love before

I thought I would no more

Manage to hit the ceiling

Still, strange as it seems to be

You brought it back to me

That old feeling

 

I, I don't know what you do

You make me think that you

Possibly could release me

I think you'll be able to

Make all my dreams come true

And you ease me

 

You thrill me, you delight me

You please me, you excite me

You're something I've been waiting for

I love you, I adore you

I lay my life before you

I'll have you want me more and more

And finally it seems

My lonely days are through

I've been waiting for you

 

I, I'm gonna make you mine

You're gonna feel so fine

You'll never want to leave me

I feel you belong to me

Someday you will agree

Please, believe me

 

You thrill me, you delight me

You please me, you excite me

You're something I've been waiting for

I love you, I adore you

I lay my life before you

I'll have you want me

More and more

And finally it seems

My lonely days are through

I've been waiting for you

 

 

So Long

 

B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus

 

You think you're gonna make me soft with your fancy car

The girls might fall for everything you've got

But I'm not one of them

You know I'm not

You won't have me tonight

All right, all right, all right, all right
