Take A Chance On Me

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've got no place to go, if 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, get to know you better
'Cos 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've got no place to go, if 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 you?)
Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby,
I'm in no hurry, 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
'Cos 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've got no place to go, if 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
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
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
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me

S.O.S

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 elsecan save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I eventry to go on?
When you're gone though I try, howcan 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 Winner Takes It All

I don't wanna talk
About 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's 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 stay in line
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
The winner takes it all

Super Trouper

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 (Wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming (Glad to hear you're coming)
Suddenly I feel all right (And suddenly it's gonna be)
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 (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Smiling, having fun (Sup-per Troup-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Like I always do (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
'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 (Still I'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy (Think I'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright (You'll soon be changing everything)
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 (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Smiling, having fun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Like I always do (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
'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 (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Smiling, having fun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Like I always do (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Sup-per Troup-per lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Smiling, having fun (Su-p-per Trou-p-per)
Feeling like a number one

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (a Man After Midnight)

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

Fernando

Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
in the firelight Fernando
you were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now Fernando
every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
we were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
and I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
the stars were bright, Fernando
they were shining there for you and me
for liberty, Fernando
though we never thought that we could lose
there's no regret
if I had to do the same again
I would my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey Fernando
since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
the stars were bright, Fernando
they were shining there for you and me
for liberty, Fernando
though we never thought that we could lose
there's no regret
if I had to do the same again
I would my friend, Fernando

I Have A Dream

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

Mamma Mia

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

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

Knowing Me, Knowing You

No more carefree laughter
silence ever after
walking through an empty house
tears in my eyes
here is where the story ends
this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you
there is nothing we can do
knowing me, knowing you
we just have to face it
this time we're through
breaking up is never easy I know
but I have to go
knowing me, knowing you
it's the best I can do

Mem'ries, good days, bad days
they'll be with me always
in these old familiar rooms
children would play
now there's only emptiness
nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you
there is nothing we can do
knowing me, knowing you
we just have to face it this time we're through
breaking up is never easy I know
but I have to go
knowing me, knowing you it's the best I can do

Dancing Queen

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

Chiquitita

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Thank You For The Music

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it,
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
