The winner takes it all
Super trouper
Waterloo
Gimme! gimme! gimme! (a man after midnight)
The name of the game
Ring ring
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
SOS
Fernando
Hasta mañana
Mamma mia
Lay all your love on me
Thank you for the music
Happy new year
Honey honey (swedish version)
Waterloo (french version)
Ring ring (german version)
¡dame! ¡dame! ¡dame! (spanish version of gimme! gimme! gimme!)
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 (takes it all)
The loser has to fall (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 (will decide)
The likes of me abide (me abide)
Spectators of the show, always staying low
The game is on again (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (big or small)
The winner takes it all (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

So the winner takes it all
And the the loser has to fall
Throw a dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall....

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 alright (and suddenly, it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different when I'm on the stage tonight

CHORUS:
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

Facing twenty thousands 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 ('cause you'll be changing everything)
Everything will be so different when I'm on the stage tonight

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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
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)

Waterloo
My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

CHORUS:
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promise to love you forever more
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

CHORUS

So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo

Ooh, Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
(repeat and fade out)

Gimme! gimme! gimme! (a man after midnight)
half past twelve,
and I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone,
how I hate to spend the evening on my own,
autumn winds,
blowing outside my 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 a 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 no-one 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

gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,

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

gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

The name of the game
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 open-hearted

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?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
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
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot

Ring ring
Tyst och död är telefon
står där nästan som ett hån
inte ringer du och säger älskling nu som du gjorde
allting är så tyst mot förr
ingen knackar på min dörr
det som lockat mig frestar inte, nej, som det borde
inget roar mig just nu
ingen annan bara du

Ring ring, bara du slog en signal
ring ring, tystnaden är så total
ring ring, skingra den oron som mal
om jag fick en signal, tog jag ett språng
hjärtat gjorde en volt, ding-dong bing-bong
om du ring-ring-ringde en endaste gång
om du ring-ring-ringde en endaste gång

Att en telefon kan va
lika tyst varenda dag
om det vore så, det var nåt fel ändå men dessvärre
om den bara sa ett knyst
om den inte blott var tyst
om jag fick nån lön för nån enda bön av vår Herre
inget roar mig just nu
ingen annan bara du

Ring ring, bara du slog en signal
ring ring, tystnaden är så total
ring ring, skingra den oron som mal
om jag fick en signal, tog jag ett språng
hjärtat gjorde en volt, ding-dong bing-bong
om du ring-ring-ringde en endaste gång
om du ring-ring-ringde en endaste gång

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

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

Oh, no hard feelings between you and me
If we can't make it, but just wait and see

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

So 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

SOS
Where are those happy days,
They seem so hard to find,
I tried 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,

(CHORUS)
So when you're near me,
Darlin can't you hear me?
SOS
The love you gave me,
Nothing else could save me,
SOS
When your gone,
How can I even try to go on,
When your 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 feared,
I really tried to make it up,
I wish I understood,
What happened to our love?
It used to be so good,

(CHORUS)

So when you're near me,
Darlin can't you hear me?
SOS
And the love you gave me,
Nothing else could save me,
SOS
When your gone,
How can I even try to go on,
When your gone, though I try,
How can I carry on?
When your gone,
How can I even try to go on,
When your gone, though I try,
How can I carry on?

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
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey Fernando
And 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

(Repeat)

Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend, Fernando

Hasta mañana
Where is the spring and the summer
That once was yours and mine
Where did it go
I just don't know
But still my love for you will live forever

Hasta Mañana 'til we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta Mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta Mañana, baby, Hasta Manana, until then

Where is the dream we were dreaming
And all the nights we shared
Where did they go
I just don't know
And I can't tell you just how much I miss you
Hasta Mañana 'til we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta Mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta Mañana, baby, Hasta Mañana, until then

Hasta Mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta Mañana, baby, Hasta Mañana, until then

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 ev'rything
Oh oh

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 ev'rything
Oh oh

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

Lay all your love on me
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

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

CHORUS
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
Mm-mm, 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

CHORUS
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

CHORUS
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 im a fan

So i say thank you for the music the songs im singing
Thanks for all the joy i'm bringing
Who could live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be ?
With out a song or dance what are we?
So i say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Happy new year
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Honey honey (swedish version)
Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, 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, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, ah-hah, honey honey
The way that you kiss goodnight
(The way that you kiss me goodnight)
The way that you hold me tight
(The way that you're holding 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, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
You look like a movie star
(You look like a movie star)
But I know just who you are
(I know just who you are)
And, honey, to say the least, you're a dog-gone 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, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine

Waterloo (french version)
Déjà, à Waterloo Napoléon a dû se rendre  
Et moi, je crois que mon destin prend  
Aujourd'hui le même chemin  
Les livres d'histoire et la vie  
Racontent la même comédie  
 
Waterloo - tu es vainqueur et je perds la guerre  
Waterloo - je me constitue ta prisionière  
Waterloo - je ne peux plus fuir et plus t'échapper  
Waterloo - pour la vie je promets de t'aimer  
Wa Wa Wa Wa Waterloo  
Il est arrivé mon Waterloo  
 
Pourtant, j'ai bien tenté de résister mais en vain  
Alors, je crois qe ma seule chance est d'abandonner le  
combat  
Comment faire encore pour y croire  
Quand je souhaite ta victoire  
 
Waterloo - tu es vainqueur et je perds la guerre  
Waterloo - je me constitue ta prisionière  
Waterloo - je ne peux plus fuir et plus t'échapper  
Waterloo - pour la vie je promets de t'aimer  
Wa Wa Wa Wa Waterloo  
Il est arrivé mon Waterloo  
 
Comment faire encore pour y croire  
Quand je souhaite ta victoire  
 
Waterloo - tu es vainqueur et je perds la guerre  
Waterloo - je me constitue ta prisionière  
Wa Wa Wa Wa Waterloo  
Il est arrivé mon Waterloo

Il est arrivé mon Waterloo

Ring ring (german version)
Ich bin ganz allein zu haus,
sowas hält doch keiner aus,
deine Eifersucht, die ist doch blöd
und albern und dumm nur!
Baby, treib es nicht zu weit,
immer wieder machst du Streit,
kannst du mir mal sagen, du,
wieso, weshalb und warum nur?
Auch bei mir reißt mal der Draht,
häng dich an den Apparat -

Ring ring
vierzehn-null-sieben-null-drei
Ring ring
telefonier’, es ist frei.
Ring ring
sonst ist es aus und vorbrei.
Geh doch endlich mal ran ans Telefon,
sag doch endlich: Komm an, ich warte schon,
Ring ring
vierzehn-null-sieben-null-drei,
Ring ring - sonst ist es aus und vorbei!

Sag mir nicht, dir fehlt die Zeit
oder die Gelegenheit,
denn es gibt hier doch
an jeder Straßenecke eine Zelle.
Sag mir nicht, daß es nicht paßt,
weil du keine Groschen hast,
denn in jeder Post
in jeder Bank ist eine Wechselstelle.
Auch bei mir reißt mal der Draht,
häng dich an den Apparat -

Ring ring
vierzehn-null-sieben-null-drei
Ring ring
telefonier’ es ist frei.
Ring ring
sonst ist es aus und vorbrei.
Geh doch endlich mal ran ans Telefon,
sag doch endlich: Komm an, ich warte schon,
Ring ring
vierzehn-null-sieben-null-drei,
Ring ring - sonst ist es aus und vorbrei!

¡dame! ¡dame! ¡dame! (spanish version of gimme! gimme! gimme!)
El reloj
ya marco medianoche
y otra vez encontre
que tan solo me acompaña la TV

El soplar
de ese viento afuera
vive la deolacion
me oprime con angustia el corazon.
No hay mas que soledad
nadie, ni por piedad.

Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
alguien que me ayude
a las sombras borrar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
hasta que amanezca
ver el dia aclarar

Tantos hay
con gran suerte y fortuna
todo pueden conseguir
tan distinto a lo que tengo que vivir

Aburrida me encuentro esta noche
y la gran oscuridad
es mi siempre obligada amistad.
No hay mas que soledad
nadie, ni por piedad.

Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
alguien que me ayude
a las sombras borrar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
hasta que amanezca
ver el dia aclarar

Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche

Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche

No hay mas que soledad
nadie, ni por piedad.

Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
alguien que me ayude
a las sombras borrar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
hasta que amanezca
ver el dia aclarar

Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
alguien que me ayude
a las sombras borrar
Dame, dame, dame
amor esta noche
hasta que amanezca
ver el dia aclarar
