Lay All Your Love On Me

(B. Andersson / B. Ulvaeus)

Laa...

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.
(don't go sharing your devotion)


It was like shooting a sitting duck.
A little smalltalk, 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...


Chorus:
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 I 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?


(chorus x2) (don't go)
Don't go wasting your emotion,
lay all your love on me.
Don't go sharing your devotion...

Take A Chance On Me

(B. Andersson / B. Ulvaeus)

Refrain 1:
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, and I'll be around.
If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down.


Refrain 2:
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.


We can go dancing, we can go walking,
as long as we're together. (together)
Listen to some music, maybe just talking,
get to know you better. (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 wanted to leave me there, afraid of a love affair,
but I think you know, that I can't let go.


(refrain 1)
(take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)
(refrain 2)


Take a chance on me. (that's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me.


Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry,
I know I'm gonna get ya. (get ya)
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry,
I ain't gonna let ya. (let ya)


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.


Hopping in...
If you like what you're seeing take a chance with me, ya!
You won't be grabbed, if you're feeling horny.
Well, you've passes so you got to know this precious property.
I don't know the lads, so call me MC K.
Nobody sits, understand me clearly.
However hard he try, could he never own me.
We all fit nice and just move freely.
Special K, what he says all said carefully.
Me not sit all along and just wait by phone.
Not call me 'cause me never, never home ya.
Machinegun as we get the wrong one.
Master Mark, master Paul, mister Luke and John,
if we like what we see we chance a situation.
Nothing don't pay nothing, maybe see what follow on.
What a jill may do if the right man come?
Hey reagge boat, come we just have a little fun!
Go now!


Pabbabbabba ba, pabbabbabbabba ba ba
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, take a chance, take a chance on me)
(refrain 2)
(take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)
Pabbabbabba ba, pabbabbabbabba ba ba

S.O.S.

(S. Andersson / B. Ulvaeus / B. Andersson)

 Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find.
I tried to reach for you, but you had 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 I even try to go on?
When you're gone, (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.
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, (when you're gone)
though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone, (when you're gone)
how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone (when you're gone)
though I try how can I carry on? (carry on)

Voulez Vous

(B. Andersson / B. Ulvaeus)

People everywhere,
a sense of expectation hanging in the air.
Giving out a spark,
'cross the room your eyes are glowing 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.


Chorus:
Voulez-vous? (aha)
Take it now or leave it! (aha)
Now is all we get, (aha)
nothing promised, no regrets.
Voulez-vous? (aha)
Ain't no big decision, (aha)
you know what to do. (aha)
La question c'est voulez-vous?


Voulez-vous...?

I know what you think:
"The girl means business, so I'll offer her a drink."
Feeling mighty proud,
see you leave your table, pushing 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.


(chorus)

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.


(chorus)

Voulez-vous...?

(aha, aha, aha)
(aha, aha, aha)


Voulez-vous? (aha)
(aha, aha, aha)
Voulez-vous? (aha)
(aha, aha, aha)
