Lyrics

This is page of ABBA lyrics that I've written down. Right now there's about 20 songs, but I'll be probably adding more very frequently, including some Agnetha Faltskog ones, and maybe some Swedish ones, too. If I've got any wrong, please let me know. I think I've got them right, and I've checked them with the songs.:) The only thing I'm really unsure about is the exact wording of the backing vocals in 'When I Kissed The Teacher', but I know I've got it basically right. I hope the lyrics are helpful!:) 

Angeleyes

Ah-hah-hah
Ah-hah-hah-ah-hah-hah
Ah-hah-hah
Ah-hah-hah-ah-hah-hah
Ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin' 'bout his angeleyes.
Keep thinkin'.
Oh-oh.

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,
'Cause he always used to look at me that way.
And I thought, 'Maybe I should walk right up to her and say,
Ah-hah-hah
'It's a game he likes to play.'

Look into his angeleyes.
One look and you're hypnotized.
He'll take your heart, and you must pay the price.
Look into his angeleyes.
You think you're in paradise.
And, one day, you find out he wears a disguise.
Don't look to deep into those angeleyes.
Oh, no, no, no, no.

Ah-hah-hah
Ah-hah-hah-ah-hah-hah
Ah-hah-hah
Ah-hah-hah-ah-hah-hah
Ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin' 'bout his angeleyes.
Keep thinkin'.
Oh-oh.

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-hah-hah
How could I forget that name?

Look into his angeleyes.
One look and you're hypnotized.
He'll take your heart, and you must pay the price.
Look into his angeleyes.
You think you're in paradise.
And, one day, you find out he wears a disguise.
Don't look to deep into those angeleyes.
Crazy 'bout his angeleyes.
Angeleyes.
He took my heart, and now I pay the price.
Look into his angeleyes.
You think you're in paradise.
And, one day, you find out he wears a disguise.
Don't look to deep into those angeleyes.
Oh, no, no, no, no.

Ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin'.
Ah-hah-hah-ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin' 'bout his angeleyes.
Ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin'.
Ah-hah-hah-ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin' have to pay the price.
Ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin'.
Ah-hah-hah-ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin' 'bout his angeleyes.
Ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin'.
Ah-hah-hah-ah-hah-hah
Keep thinkin' have to pay the price.

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 boomer-boomerang.
Dum-be-dum-dum-be-dum-be-dum-dum.
A bang
A-boomer-boomerang.
Love is a tune you hum-ee-hum-hum.
By giving away, I think you'll learn,
You'll get love in return.
So bang
A boomer-boomerang is love.
A boomer-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 boomer-boomerang.
Dum-be-dum-dum-be-dum-be-dum-dum.
A bang
A boomer-boomerang.
Love is a tune you hum-ee-hum-hum.
By giving away, I think you'll learn,
You'll get love in return.
So bang
A boomer-boomerang is love.

And if you're warm and tender,
I'll kiss you. Return to sender.
Please surrender!

Bang
A boomer-boomerang.
Dum-be-dum-dum-be-dum-be-dum-dum.
A bang
A boomer-boomerang is love.
A boomer-boomerang is love.

Crazy World

I was out for the morning sun. Couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd take a walk.
I was thinking of you and me, and I went to your house 'cause we had to talk.
I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this guy closing your front door.
Had a feeling of emptiness like I've never had before.

And I close my eyes.
Will you leave me, girl?
Mm-hmm-hmm.
And I realize
It's a crazy world.

As he disappeared in his car, I was stunned, and I didn't know what to do.
Everything I had ever dreamed, everything in my life's a part of you.
And I just couldn't move my feet, so I stood on the pavement as you came out.
You acted as you didn't know what it was all about.

And I close my eyes.
Will you leave me, girl?
Mm-hmm-hmm.
And I realize
It's a crazy world.

Baby, how could you do this?
You just told me lies.
And you meet behind my back with other guys.
Baby, how could you tell me
There was only me?
I was stupid to believe you;
I was blind, but now I see.

Then you smiled and you took my hand. 'There is something,' you said, 'that you may not know.
'There's a couple of men in my life, and one of them is my brother, Joe.
'He's been gone for a long, long time, but he's back, and I think he's gonna stay.
'You'll be seeing a lot of him; he's so nice in every way.'

And I close my eyes.
Never leave me, girl.
Mm-hmm-hmm. 
And I realize
It's a crazy world.

So I close my eyes.
Never leave me, girl.
Mm-hmm-hmm. 
And I realize
It's a crazy world.

So I close my eyes.
Never leave me, girl.
Mm-hmm-hmm. 
And I realize
It's a crazy world.

Dum Dum Diddle

I can hear how you work, practicing hard, playing night and day.
Woah-woah.
And it sounds better now. Yes, you improve ever time you play.
Woah-woah.
But it's bad.
You're so sad.
And you're only smilin'
When you play your violin.

Dum dum diddle.
To be your fiddle.
To be so near,
And not just here.
Dum dum diddle.
To be your fiddle.
I think that maybe
You'd see me, baby.
You'd be mine,
And we'd be together all the time.
Wish I was dum dum diddle
Your darling fiddle.

But I think you don't know that I exist; I'm the quiet type.
Woah-woah.
From the day when I first listened to you, you've been on my mind.
Woah-woah.
You don't care.
It's not fair.
And you're only smilin'
When you play your violin.

Dum dum diddle.
To be your fiddle.
To be so near,
And not just here.
Dum dum diddle.
To be your fiddle.
I think that maybe
You'd see me, baby.
You'd be mine,
And we'd be together all the time.

Dum dum diddle.
To be your fiddle.
To be so near,
And not just here.
Dum dum diddle.
To be your fiddle.
I think that maybe
You'd see me, baby.
You'd be mine,
And we'd be together all the time.
Wish I was dum dum diddle
Your darling fiddle.
 
Eagle

They came flying from far away. Now I'm under their spell.
I love hearing the stories that they tell.
They've seen places beyond my land, and they've found new horizons.
They speak strangely, but I understand.
And I dream I'm an eagle.
And I dream I can spread my wings.

Flying high, high.
I'm a bird in the sky.
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze.
High, high.
What a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas,
And to go anywhere that I please.

As all good friends, we talk all night, and we fly wing-to-wing.
I have questions, and they know everything.
There's no limit to what I feel. We climb higher and higher.
Am I dreaming, or is it all real?
Is it true I'm an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?

Flying high, high.
I'm a bird in the sky.
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze.
High, high.
What a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas,
And to go anywhere that I please.

And I dream I'm an eagle.
And I dream I can spread my wings.

Flying high, high.
I'm a bird in the sky.
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze.
High, high.
What a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas,
Flying high, high.
I'm a bird in the sky.
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze.
High, high.
What a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas,
And to go anywhere that I please.

Free As A Bumble Bee

I'm down,
And I feel depressed.
Sitting here, just waiting
For the next bus traveling
Downtown.
It's a crying shame.
Isn't it? The beautiful weather.
If I could have my way, then I would not be working.
On a day like this, I know what I'd like to be.

As free
As a bumble bee.
Take a sip from every flower.
Free
As a bumble bee.
While away each lazy hour.
What a good life.
Lying laid back,
Like an old railroad bum by the track.
What a good life.
Living outdoors.
Lie in grass and chew on a straw.


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 for ever.

Hasta manana. 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 manana. Say we'll meet again.
I can't do
Without you.
Time to forget.
Send me a letter.
Say you'll forgive.
The sooner, the better.
Hasta manana, baby. Hasta manana until then.

Where is dream we were dreaming,
And all the nights we shared?
Were did they go?
I just don't know.
And I can't tell you just how much I miss you.


Hasta manana. 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 manana. Say we'll meet again.
I can't do
Without you.
Time to forget.
Send me a letter.
Say you'll forgive.
The sooner, the better.
Hasta manana, baby. Hasta manana until then.

Hasta manana. 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 manana. Say we'll meet again.
I can't do
Without you.
Time to forget.
Send me a letter.
Say you'll forgive.
The sooner, the better.
Hasta manana, baby. Hasta manana until then.

I've Been Waiting For You

I, I've been in love before.
I though I would no more
Manage to hit the ceiling.
Still, strange as it seems to be,
You've brought it back to me -
That old feeling. 
I, I don't know what to do.
You make me think that you
Possibly could release me.
I think you'll be able to
Make all my dreams come true.
And you ease me.

You thrill me; you delight me.
You please me; you excite me.
You're something I've been waiting for.
I love you; I adore you.
I'd lay my life before you.
I'll have you want me more and more.
And finally, it seems, my lonely days are though.
I've been waiting for you.

I, I'm gonna make you mine.
You're gonna feel so fine,
You'll never want to leave me.
I feel you belong to me.
Someday you will agree.
Please believe me.

You thrill me; you delight me.
You please me; you excite me.
You're something I've been waiting for.
I love you; I adore you.
I'd lay my life before you.
I'll have you want me more and more.
And finally, it seems, my lonely days are though.
I've been waiting for you.
Oh-oh-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-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Just A Notion

Just a notion, that's all.
Just a feelin' that you're watching me.
Ah-hah-hah-ha
Every move I'm making.
Am I readin' your mind,
'Cause it's almost like you're touching me.
Ah-hah-hah-ha
There is no mistaking.

Just a notion
That you'll be walking up to me,
In a while,
And you'll smile,
And say 'hello', and we'll be dancin' though the night,
Knowing everythin' from there on must be right.
Just a notion,
But somehow I know I'm not wrong.
If it's our destiny, there's nothing we can do,
And tonight is very special;
It's the night for me and you.

Ah-hah-hah-ha
Ah-hah-hah-ha
Ah-hah-hah-ha

Knowing Me, Knowing You

No more care-free laughter.
Silence ever-after.
Walkin' through an empty house, tears in my eyes.
Here is where the story ends; this is goodbye.

Knowing me, knowing you.
Uh-huh.
There is nothing we can do.
Knowing me, knowing you.
Uh-huh
We just have to face it: this time we're though.
(This time we're - this time we're through. This time we're through. We're really through.)
Breaking up is never easy, I know,
But I have to go.
(I have to - this time I have to go. This time I do.)
Knowing me, knowing you; it's the best I can do.

Memories:
(Memories)
Good days;
(Good days;)
Bad days.
(Bad days.)
They'll be
(They'll be)
With me
(With me)
Always.
(Always.) 
In these old, familiar rooms, children would play.
Now, there's only emptiness; nothing to say.

Knowing me, knowing you.
Uh-huh.
There is nothing we can do.
Knowing me, knowing you.
Uh-huh
We just have to face it: this time we're though.
(This time we're - this time we're through. This time we're through. We're really through.)
Breaking up is never easy, I know,
But I have to go.
(I have to - this time I have to go. This time I do.)
Knowing me, knowing you; it's the best I can do.

Knowing me, knowing you.
Uh-huh.
There is nothing we can do.
Knowing me, knowing you.
Uh-huh
We just have to face it: this time we're though.
(This time we're - this time we're through. This time we're through. We're really through.)
Breaking up is never easy, I know,
But I have to go.
(I have to - this time I have to go. This time I do.)
Knowing me, knowing you; it's the best I can do.

My Love, My Life

I've seen it on your face.
Tells me more than any worn out old phrase.
So, now, we 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 or your eyes,
My love, my life.
I can see it all so clearly.
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 posses 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.
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 posses you,
So go away; God bless you.
You are still my love and my life.
Yes, I know I don't posses you,
So go away; God bless you.
You are still my love and my life,
Still my one and only.

One Man, One Woman

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table,
Though I would've liked to begin.
So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable.
You leave and you slam the door,
Like you've done many times before.
And I cry and I feel so helpless.

One man, one woman;
Two friends, and two true lovers.
Somehow, we'll help each other through the hard times.
One man, one woman;
One life to live together;
One chance to take that never comes back again:
You and me, to the end.

Outside, I can see the sun through the open window.
Inside, everything feels so cold.
What's wrong? What is happening? Where did all our love go?
Sometimes, when I just can't cope,
I cling to the desperate hope,
And I cry and I feel like dying.

One man, one woman;
Two friends, and two true lovers.
Somehow, we'll help each other through the hard times.
One man, one woman;
One life to live together;
One chance to take that never comes back again:
You and me, to the end.

Daydreams are the better life, but I have to wake up -
The sound of a key in the door.
You smile and I realize that we need a shake-up.
Our love is a precious thing,
Worth the pain and the suffering.
And it's never too late for changing.


One man, one woman;
Two friends, and two true lovers.
Somehow, we'll help each other through the hard times.
One man, one woman;
One life to live together;
One chance to take that never comes back again:
You and me, to the end.
You and me, to the end.
You and me, to the end.

S.O.S.

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?
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 make 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,
Though I try,
How can I
Carry on?

So when you're near me,
Darling, can't you hear me?
S.O.S.!
And the love you gave me -
Nothing else can save me.
S.O.S.!
When you're gone,
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone,
Though I try,
How can I
Carry on?
When you're gone,
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone,
Though I try,
How can I
Carry on?

Tiger

The city is a jungle; you'd better take care.
Never walk alone after midnight.
If you don't believe me, you'd better beware
Of me!

I am behind you.
I always find you.
I am the tiger.
People who fear me
Never come near me.
I am the tiger.

The city is a nightmare - a horrible dream.
Some of us will dream it forever.
Look around the corner, and try not to scream -
It's me!

I am behind you.
I always find you.
I am the tiger.
People who fear me
Never come near me.
I am the tiger.

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights.
Yellow eyes - the spotlights of the city nights.

I am behind you.
I always find you.
I am the tiger.
People who fear me
Never come near me.
I am the tiger.

The city is a prison. You'll never escape.
You're forever trapped in the alleys.
Look into the shadows, and you'll see the shape
Of me!

I am behind you.
I always find you.
I am the tiger.
People who fear me
Never come near me.
I am the tiger.

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights.
Yellow eyes - the spotlights of the city nights.

I am behind you.
I always find you.
I am the tiger.
People who fear me
Never come near me.
I am the tiger.
And if I meet you,
What if I eat you?
I am the tiger.
I am behind you.
I always find you.
I am the tiger! Tiger! Tiger!
(Tiger!)
Tiger!

When I Kissed The Teacher

Everybody screamed,
When I kissed the teacher.
And they must have thought they dreamed,
(Thought they dreamed)
When I kissed the teacher.
All my friends at school -
They had never seen the teacher blush. He looked like a fool!
 Nearly petrified,
'Cause he was taken by surprise,
(Oh, hug him, wanna kiss him.)
When I kissed the teacher.
(Wanna hug him, hug him, wanna kiss him, kiss him.)
Couldn't quite believe his eyes,
(Oh, hug him, wanna kiss him.) 
When I kissed the teacher.
(Wanna hug him, hug him, wanna kiss him.) 
My whole class went wild.
(Oo-oo-oh)
As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then
He just smiled.
(Smiled. I wanna kiss him. Oo-oo-oo-oh)
I was in the seventh heaven,
When I kissed the teacher.

One of these days,
(Ah-ah-ahh)
Gonna tell him I dream of his every night.
(Oo-oo-oh)
One of these days,
(Oo-oo-oo-oh)
Gonna show him I care.
Gonna teach him a lesson, alright!

I was in a trance,
(Oh, hug him, wanna kiss him.)  
When I kissed the teacher.
(Wanna hug him, wanna kiss him.)  
Suddenly, I took a chance,
(Oh, hug him, wanna kiss him.)  
When I kissed the teacher.
(Wanna hug him, wanna kiss him.)  Leaning over me,
(Oo-oo-oh) 
He was trying to explain the laws of geometry,
(Hug him, wanna kiss him. Oo-oo-oo-oh)
And I couldn't help it, I just had to kiss the teacher.

One of these days,
(Ah-ah-ahh)
Gonna tell him I dream of his every night.
(Oo-oo-oh)
One of these days,
(Oo-oo-oo-oh)
Gonna show him I care.
Gonna teach him a lesson, alright!

What a crazy day,
(Oh, hug him, wanna kiss him.)
When I kissed the teacher.
(Wanna hug him, wanna kiss him.)
All my sense had blown away,
(Oh, hug him, wanna kiss him.)
When I kissed the teacher.
(Wanna hug him, wanna kiss him.)
My whole class went wild.
(Oo-oo-oh)
As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then
He just smiled.
(Smiled. I wanna kiss him. Oo-oo-oo-oh)
I was in the seventh heaven,
When I kissed the teacher.
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him.)
When I kissed the teacher.
(I wanna hug, hug, him.)
When I kissed the teacher.
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him.)
When I kissed the teacher.
(I wanna hug, hug, him.)
When I kissed the teacher.
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him.)
