I Am Just A Girl

I am just a girl, one among the others, nothing much to say

Plain and simple girl, not a special type in any way

Just one look, and you will surely see

That the true Miss Nobody is me

It's an evil world that has only made me a girl

I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to meet

Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street

But today, I can't believe it's true

When you smiled and whispered: I love you

Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

It's a funny feeling when you get to love someone

And thinking that he'll never look your way

But then he says he loves you, and life has just begun

It's so much more than any words can say

I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to meet

Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street

But today, I can't believe it's true

When you smiled and whispered: I love you

Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

La la la la la, la la la la la-la, la la la la laaa

La la la la la, la la la la la-la, la la laaa

But today, I can't believe it's true

When you smiled and whispered: I love you

Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

Rock'N'Roll Band

Sitting in the darkest corner

In the tender light I saw her face

She was looking so sad and lonely

Someone help me, someone save me

I could see the look she gave me, oh

Oh yeah, and there was one thing only

That I knew I could do

Let's go girl

It's a beautiful place this world

Come on baby let's dance

To the rock'n'roll band

Let's go now

Let me show you that I know how

Come on baby let's dance

To the rock'n roll band

Come on baby let's dance

To the rock'n roll band

You'd been sitting there for hours

Try to hide behind the flowers now

Baby, we could have fun together

Come on, cheer up, let's get started

No use being broken-hearted now

Oh yeah, you're gonna feel much better

Yes I know that you will

Let's go girl

It's a beautiful place this world

Come on baby let's dance

To the rock'n roll band

Let's go now

Let me show you that I know how

Come on baby let's dance

To the rock'n roll band

Come on baby let's dance

To the rock'n roll band

Disillusion

Changing, moving, in a circle

I can see your face in all of my dreams

Smiling, laughing, from the shadows

When I hear your voice I know what it means

I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try

You're all the reason for my life

Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me

How can I forget you when my world is breaking down

You're all I had, you're all I want

Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have

Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows

Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd

Thinking, wondering, what you're doing

I can't stop myself from crying out loud

They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar

But then, they'd never shared our love

Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me

How can I forget you when my world is breaking down

You're all I had, you're all I want

Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have

Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have

Merry-Go-Round

I have tried in vain never had success

So it seems my life is nothing but a mess

I have lost my only friend

Now it seems I have to start again

Merry-go-round

Where am I bound

With my love and feelings

Merry-go-round

Who wants to kiss me

And hug me and miss me

Yes, who wants to do it

I wish that I knew it

Merry-go-round

Wish I had found

Somebody to care for

Where am I bound

Life is so lonely

If life is just only

To love with my loving

Goes round and round

Looking for someone

Who would want to stay

I might find her

With a bit of luck one day

But who knows

So until then

I can only try and try again

Merry-go-round

Where am I bound

With my love and feelings

Merry-go-round

Who wants to kiss me

And hug me and miss me

Yes, who wants to do it

I wish that I knew it

Merry-go-round

Wish I had found

Somebody to care for

Where am I bound

Life is so lonely

If life is just only

To love with my loving

Goes round and round

Merry-go-round

Where am I bound

With my love and feelings

Merry-go-round

Who wants to kiss me

And hug me and miss me

Yes, who wants to do it

I wish that I knew it

Merry-go-round

Wish I had found

Somebody to care for

Where am I bound

Life is so lonely

If life is just only

To love with my loving

Goes round and round

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

Waterloo

I was defeated, you won the war

Waterloo

Promise to love you forevermore

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

Waterloo

I was defeated, you won the war

Waterloo

Promise to love you forevermore

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

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

Hasta Manana

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 till 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

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 till 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

Suzy-Hang-Around

Suzy was nine and i was ten

Right at the time when boys like to think they're men

She used to follow us from school

We really thought that she was a little fool

And one day we said to her

"we don't want to hurt you girl

But you'd better

Look for a friend of your own

Suzy-hang-around

Better come back when you're grown

Suzy-hang-around

Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure

So get off our playground and stay away

That's all that we've got to say

Suzy-hang-around"

Suzy ran home to mama's arms

Mama said "look, she's never done you no harm

So get off her back and let her be

Why can't you play together in harmony?"

We really didn't know what to say

But as soon as she went away

We laughed and said

"look for a friend of your own

Suzy-hang-around

Better come back when you're grown

Suzy-hang-around

Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure

So get off our playground and stay away

That's all that we've got to say

Suzy-hang-around"

Honey Honey

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 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, aha, honey, honey

Honey, honey, hold me, baby, aha, 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, aha, honey, honey

Honey, honey, nearly kill me, aha, honey, honey

I heard about you before (I heard about you before)

I wanted to know some more (I wanted to know you some more)

And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine

Oh, you make me dizzy

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

and I can hear a bell ring

(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa

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

and I can hear a bell ring

(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa

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

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

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?

So when you're near me, darling

Can't you hear me?

SOS

And 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?

When you're gone

How can I even try to go on?

When you're gone

Though I try, how can I carry on?

I've Been Waiting For You

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'd been pleading 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'd been pleading 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

Oh, I've been waiting for you

Na na na, na na na, na-na na

Na na na, na na na, na-na na

Na na na, na na na, na-na na-naa

Bang-A-Boomerang

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 boom-a-boomerang

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

Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang

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

So give it away, I think you'll learn

You'll get love in return

So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love

A boom-a-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 boom-a-boomerang

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

Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang

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

So give it away, I think you'll learn

You'll get love in return

So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love

And if you're warm and tender

I'll kiss you, return to sender

Please surrender

Bang, a boom-a-boomerang

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

Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love

A boom-a-boomerang is love

Dancing Queen

You can dance, you can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low

Looking out for a 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

Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn them on

Leave them burning and then you are 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

Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

Digging the dancing queen

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

Memories, 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

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

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

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

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

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In the rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In the rich man's world

Aha

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

My Love, My Life

I've seen it on your face

Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase

So now we'll go separate ways

Never again we two

Never again, nothing I can do

Like an image passing by, my love, my life

In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life

I can see it all so clearly

(See it all so clearly)

Answer me sincerely

(Answer me sincerely)

Was it a dream, a lie?

Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life

Are the words you try to find, my love, my life

But I know I don't possess you

So go away, God bless you

You are still my love and my life

Still my one and only

I've watched you look away

Tell me is it really so hard to say?

Oh, this has been my longest day

Sitting here close to you

Knowing that maybe tonight we're through

Like an image passing by, my love, my life

In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life

I can see it all so clearly

(See it all so clearly)

Answer me sincerely

(Answer me sincerely)

Was it a dream, a lie?

Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life

Are the words you try to find, my love, my life

But I know I don't possess you

So go away, God bless you

You are still my love and my life

Yes I know I don't possess you

So go away, God bless you

You are still my love and my life

Still my one and only

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

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 I never thought that we could lose

There's no regret

If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend, Fernando

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 I never thought that we could lose

There's no regret

If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend, Fernando

Yes, if I had to do the same again

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

Hole In Your Soul

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues

Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes

When it's bad, worse, worst

(And when you're feeling so bad)

And you think you're cursed

(And you've got it sad)

Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose

It's gotta be rock'n roll

To fill the hole in your soul

There's gotta be rock'n roll

To fill the hole in your soul

My friend Sam is a chauffeur, Annie goes to school

Jerry works at the office, Sue lies by the pool

But on all weekends

(Together again)

When I meet my friends

(I'm gonna see them now)

And we're lookin' round for the action we sure play it cool

It's gotta be rock'n roll

To fill the hole in your soul

There's gotta be rock'n roll

To fill the hole in your soul

Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)

You paint your world and use all colours

Ah-haa (ah-haa)

And then you find it all comes out too bright

You know it's only a lie

Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)

The songs you sing are too romantic

Ah-haa (ah-haa)

And when you want the truth

They only spit in your eye

Oh yeah, they're only telling you lies

Oh yeah, there's gotta be rock'n roll

To fill the hole in your soul

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues

Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes

When it's bad, worse, worst

(You know you're feeling so bad)

And you think you're cursed

(And you've got it sad)

Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose

It's gotta be rock'n roll

To fill the hole in your soul

There's gotta be rock'n roll

To fill the hole in your soul

There's gotta be rock'n roll...

To fill the hole in your soul

There's gotta be rock'n roll...

To fill the hole in your soul

There's gotta be rock'n roll...

To fill the hole in your soul

There's gotta be rock'n roll...

To fill the hole in your soul

There's gotta be rock'n roll...

To fill the hole in your soul

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

Mhm, 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

So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me

Andante, Andante

Take it easy with me, please

Touch me gently like a summer evening breeze

Take your time, make it slow

Andante, Andante

Just let the feeling grow

Make your fingers soft and light

Let your body be the velvet of the night

Touch my soul, you know how

Andante, Andante

Go slowly with me now

I'm your music

(I am your music and I am your song)

I'm your song

(I am your music and I am your song)

Play me time and time again and make me strong

(Play me again 'cause you're making me strong)

Make me sing, make me sound

(You make me sing and you make me)

Andante, Andante

Tread lightly on my ground

Andante, Andante

Oh please don't let me down

There's a shimmer in your eyes

Like the feeling of a thousand butterflies

Please don't talk, go on, play

Andante, Andante

And let me float away

I'm your music

(I am your music and I am your song)

I'm your song

(I am your music and I am your song)

Play me time and time again and make me strong

The Winner Takes It All

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'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 (yes, it's plain)

Why should I complain? (Why 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 (of the show)

Always staying low (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 loser has to fall

Throw a dice, cold as ice

Way down here, someone dear

Takes it all, has to fall

Yes, it's plain

Why complain?

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

So imagine I was 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 (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Smiling, having fun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Feeling like a number one

Tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me

But I won't feel blue (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Like I always do (Sup-p-per Troup-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

There are moments when I think I'm going crazy

But it's gonna be all right

(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 (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Smiling, having fun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Feeling like a number one

Tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me

But I won't feel blue (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Like I always do (Sup-p-per Troup-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 (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Smiling, having fun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Feeling like a number one

Tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me

But I won't feel blue (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Like I always do (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

'Cause somewhere in the crowd, there's you

Shining like the Sun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Smiling, having fun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Lay All Your Love On Me

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 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?

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Our Last Summer

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 regrets

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, the 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

Paris restaurants

Our last summer

Morning croissants

We were living for the day, worries far away

One Of Us

They passed me by, all of those great romances

You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances

My picture clear, everything seemed so easy

And so I dealt you the blow, one of us had to go

Now it's different, I want you to know

One of us is crying, one of us is lying

In her lonely bed

Staring at the ceiling

Wishing she was somewhere else instead

(One of us is shaking with a heart that’s breaking)

One of us is lonely, one of us is only

Waiting for a call

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small

Wishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction

I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action

Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving

That's how I started the show, one of us had to go

Now I've changed and I want you to know

One of us is crying, one of us is lying

In her lonely bed

Staring at the ceiling

Wishing she was somewhere else instead

(One of us is shaking with a heart that’s breaking)

One of us is lonely, one of us is only

Waiting for a call

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small

Wishing she had never left at all

Never left at all

Staring at the ceiling

Wishing she was somewhere else instead

(One of us is shaking with a heart that’s breaking)

One of us is lonely, one of us is only

Waiting for a call

Cassandra

Down in the street, they’re all singing and shouting

Staying alive though the city is dead

Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter

While you are crying alone on your bed

Pity Cassandra, that no one believed you

But then again, you were lost from the start

Now we must suffer and sell our secrets

Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts

Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood, now the last day is dawning

Some of us wanted, but none of us would listen to words of warning

But on the darkest of nights, nobody knew how to fight

And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra, I didn’t believe you really had the power

I only saw it as dreams you would weave until the final hour

So in the morning your ship will be sailing

Now that your father and sister are gone

There is no reason for you to linger

You’re grieving deeply but still moving on

You know the future is casting a shadow

No one else sees it, but you know your fate

Packing your bags, being slow and thorough

Knowing though you’re late, that ship is sure to wait

Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood, now the last day is dawning

Some of us wanted, but none of us would listen to words of warning

But on the darkest of nights, nobody knew how to fight

And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra, I didn’t believe you really had the power

I only saw it as dreams you would weave until the final hour

I watched the ship leaving harbour at sunrise

Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain

She stood on deck, just a tiny figure

Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain

Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood, now the last day is dawning

Some of us wanted, but none of us would listen to words of warning

But on the darkest of nights, nobody knew how to fight

And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra, I didn’t believe you really had the power

I only saw it as dreams you would weave until the final hour

I-I'm sorry Cassandra, I-I'm sorry Cassandra

Under Attack

Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go, my resistance's running low

And every day the hold is getting tighter, and it troubles me so

(You know that I'm nobody's fool)

I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me, I don't have a strategy

It's just like taking candy from a baby and I think I must be

Under attack, I'm being taken

About to crack, defences breaking

Won't somebody please have a heart

Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart

Under attack, I'm taking cover

He's on my track, my chasing lover

Thinking nothing can stop him now

Should I want to, I'm not sure I would know how

This is getting crazy, I should tell him so: Really let my anger show

Persuade him that the answer to his questions is a definite no

(I'm kind of flattered I suppose)

Guess I'm kind of flattered, but I'm scared as well, something like a magic spell

I hardly dare to think of what could happen, where I'd be if I fell

Under attack, I'm being taken

About to crack, defences breaking

Won't somebody please have a heart

Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart

Under attack, I'm taking cover

He's on my track, my chasing lover

Thinking nothing can stop him now

Should I want to, I'm not sure I would know how

Under attack, I'm being taken

About to crack, defences breaking

Won't somebody please have a heart

Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart

Under attack, I'm taking cover

He's on my track, my chasing lover

Thinking nothing can stop him now

Should I want to, I'm not sure I would know how

Under attack, I'm being taken

About to crack, defences breaking

Won't somebody please have a heart

Slipping Through My Fingers

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 losing 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 sense of guilt I can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures?

The places I had planned for us to go

(Slipping through my fingers all the time)

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

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye

With an absent-minded smile

I Let The Music Speak

I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs

No poet has ever painted

Voices call out to me, straight to my heart

So strange yet we're so well acquainted

I let the music speak, with no restraints

I let my feelings take over

Carry my soul away into the world

Where beauty meets the darkness of the day

Where my mind is like an open window

Where the high and healing winds blow

From my shallow sleep the sounds awake me

I let them take me (let them wake me, let them now, let them take me)

Let it be a joke, let it be a smile

Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while

Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn

Rustling down an old alley

And in the dead of night I find myself

A blind man in some ancient valley

I let the music speak, leading me gently

Urging me like a lover

Leading me all the way into a place

Where beauty will defeat the darkest day

Where I'm one with every grand illusion

No disturbance, no intrusion

Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me

I let them use me (all illusion, no disturbance, no intrusion)

Let it be a joke, let it be a smile

Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while

Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

Let it be the joy of each new sunrise

Or the moment when a day dies

I surrender without reservation

No explanations, no questions why

I take it to me and let it flow through me

Yes, I let the music speak, I let the music speak

Angeleyes

Keep thinking about his angeleyes

I keep thinking

Last night I was taking a walk along the river

And I saw him together with a young girl

And the look that he gave her made me shiver

Because he always used to look at me that way

And I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say

Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play

Look into his angeleyes, one look and you're hypnotised

He'll take your heart and you must pay the price

Look into his angeleyes, you'll think you're in paradise

And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise

Don't look too deep into those angeleyes

Oh, no, no, no, no

Keep thinking about his angeleyes

I keep thinking

Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him

And it hurts to remember all the good times

When I thought I could never live without him

And I wonder, does it have to be the same?

Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain?

Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name?

Look into his angeleyes, one look and you're hypnotised

He'll take your heart and you must pay the price

Look into his angeleyes, you'll think you're in paradise

And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise

Don't look too deep into those angeleyes

Crazy 'bout his angeleyes, angeleyes

He took my heart and now I pay the price

Look into his angeleyes, you'll think you're in paradise

And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise

Don't look too deep into those angeleyes

Oh, no, no, no, no

Keep thinking

Keep thinking about his angeleyes

I keep thinking

Keep thinking, had to pay the price

Keep thinking

Keep thinking about his angeleyes

Keep thinking, had to pay the price

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

I'll cross the stream

If I Wasn't For The Nights

I got appointments, work I have to do

Keeping me so busy all the day through

They're the things that keep me from thinking of you

Ohhh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it

Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say

And I lose my temper ten times a day

Still it's even worse when the night's on its way

It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

How I fear the time when shadows start to fall

Sitting here alone and staring at the wall

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights

(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

No one to turn to, you know how it is

I was not prepared for something like this

Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss

Ohhh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it

I got my business to help me through the day

People I must write to, bills I must pay

But everything's so different when night's on its way

It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

How I fear the time when shadows start to fall

Sitting here alone and staring at the wall

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights

(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)

Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

If it wasn't for the nights

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 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

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

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

Lovelight - Original Version

I've always hated my room, it's so gloomy and dreary

Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard

So I can't understand how it's happened, how everything's changing

This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter

When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter

You must have a lovelight

Everything around you is lovelight

And I can feel your love everywhere

Maybe even when you're not there

The lovelight

Everything around you is lovelight

You're shining like a star in the night

I won't let you out of my sight

I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight

How I remember the first time we went to the movies

We had decided to meet on the corner downtown

And I waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me

And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter

When you came into my life it all got so much brighter

You must have a lovelight

Everything around you is lovelight

And I can feel your love everywhere

Maybe even when you're not there

The lovelight

Everything around you is lovelight

You're shining like a star in the night

I won't let you out of my sight

I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight

And I feel so good

And I feel so right

And I know that you must have a lovelight

You've got lovelight

And I can feel your love everywhere

Maybe even when you're not there

You've got lovelight

Everything around you is lovelight

You're shining like a star in the night

I won't let you out of my sight

I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight

Everything about you is right

Let it glow and let it be bright

I don't want to lose your lovelight

Shining like a star in the night

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 (how it hurts to see you cry)

(And how it hurts to see you sad)

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

(Even though you cry, the Sun is shining in the sky)

Let me hear you sing once more (so let me hear you sing some more)

Like you did before (the way you used to do 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 and I, we know how all the heartaches come and go)

You'll be dancing once again (you'll be dancing once again)

And the pain will end (and all the pain you take 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

(Even though you cry, the Sun is shining in the sky)

Let me hear you sing once more (so let me hear you sing some more)

Like you did before (the way you used to do 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

Does Your Mother Know

You're so hot, teasing me

So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a chick like you

That'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

Does your mother know that you're out?

And I can chat with you baby

Flirt a little maybe

Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)

Better slow down girl

That's no way to go

Does your mother know?

Take it easy (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(smile)

But girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey

If you think it's funny

Does your mother know that you're out?

And I can chat with you baby

Flirt a little maybe

Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)

Better slow down girl

That's no way to go

Does your mother know?

Take it easy (take it easy)

Try to cool it girl

Take it nice and slow

Does your mother know?

Well I can dance with you honey

If you think it's funny

Does your mother know that you're out?

And I can chat with you baby

Flirt a little maybe

Does your mother know that you're out?

Well I can dance with you honey

If you think it's funny

Does your mother know that you're out?

And I can chat with you baby

Flirt a little maybe

Does your mother know that you're out?

Don't Shut Me Down

A while ago, I heard the sound of children's laughter

Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park

This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour

The Sun is going down, it's getting dark

I realise I'm cold

The rain begins to pour

As I watch the windows on the second floor

The lights are on, it's time to go

It's time, at last, to let him know

I believe it would be fair to say

You look bewildered

And you wonder why I'm here today

And so you should, I would

When I lеft, I felt I'd had enough

But in the shape and form I appеar now

I have learned to cope

And love and hope is why I am here now

And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded

I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down

I'm not the one you knew

I'm now and then combined

And I'm asking you to have an open mind

I'm not the same this time around

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

Will you leave me standing in the hall

Or let me enter?

The apartment hasn't changed at all

I got to say I'm glad

Once, these rooms were witness to our love

My tantrums and increasing frustration

But I go from mad

To not so bad, in my transformation

And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded

I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down

I'm not the one you knew

I'm now and then combined

And I'm asking you to have an open mind

I'm not the same this time around

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

You asked me not to leave

Well, here I am again

And I love you still and so I won't pretend

I have learned to cope

And love and hope is why I am here now

When You Danced With Me

I can remember when you left Kilkenny

And you told me: I'll return next year

I never meant to hold you to your promise

And the years went by and I'm still here

So you left for the city, I hope you like it there

You're only here now to see the village fair

You're just here for the music, that's all, or could it be

You miss the good old times when you danced with me

So is the outside as you imaginеd?

Was it worth it, severing the tiеs?

Happy to see me or a bit embarrassed?

There's a darkness deep in your blue eyes

So you left for the city, I hope you like it there

You're only here now to see the village fair

You're just here for the music, that's all, or could it be

You miss the good old times when you danced with me

When you danced with me

I miss the good old times when you danced with me

I Can Be That Woman

You're asleep on the couch with Tammy

And she looks straight up at me

The reproach in her eyes is imagined

But the pain that I feel is real

She jumps down and her tail is swishing

Like a feather right under your nose

And then you wake up and you're bleary-eyed

I say: I'm sorry, I can see you've cried

You look frail as you stand before me

Then you curse and kick a chair

And the dog, bless her heart, licks my fingers

But she jerks every time you swear

I feel sick and my hands arе shaking

This is how all our fights have begun

You say you've had it, and you say, Scrеw you!

I say: I love you, and I know it's true

You're not the man you should've have been

I let you down somehow (not the one I could've been)

I'm not the woman I could've have been (I can be that woman)

But I can be that woman now

You're confused when you turn to face me

Is it true or is she drunk?

But it's clear that I've hit my rock bottom

I'm aware of how far I've sunk

And the dog is the first to feel it

There's a shimmer of hope in your eyes

You can't believe it, but you're close to tears

Oh God, I'm sorry for the wasted years

(Not the one I could've been) you're not the man you should've have been

(I let you down) I let you down somehow

(Not the one I could've been) I'm not the woman I could've have been

(I can be that woman) but I can be that woman now

Keep An Eye On Dan

I know that this shouldn't be

A traumatic event, but it is

And I feel so bad

My little boy looks so happy

He throws me his "go-mummy" kiss

And he loves his dad

And I've loved him too

Maybe I still do

But it's over

Keep an eye on Dan

Promise me you can

He gets out of hand if you let him

So keep an eye on Dan (keep an eye on Dan)

And don't forget

I'll be back on Sunday to get him

So keep an eye on Dan

Certain that I'm out of sight

I pull over and turn off the car

And I bang the wheel

I can't believe that I've actually

Held it together this far

Seeing how I feel

But I said goodbye

And I did not cry

Though my heart achеd

Keep an eye on Dan

Promise mе you can

He gets out of hand if you let him

So keep an eye on Dan (keep an eye on Dan)

And don't forget

I'll be back at seven on Sunday to get him

I - I think he must have lost some weight

Funny how it takes me back to our first date

So keep an eye on Dan

Keep an eye on Dan

You're a loving man

Make an effort not to upset him

Just keep an eye on Dan (keep an eye on Dan)

And don't forget

(I won't forget to come back on Sunday to get him)

I'll be back on Sunday to get him

So keep an eye on Dan
