ABBA Greatest Hits Vol 2 Lyrics
1.Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!(A Man After Midnight)

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

Half past twelve
And I'm watchin' the late show
In my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowin' outside 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 the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm livin' 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


2.Knowing Me, Knowing You

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

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 (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through
(this time we're through, 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 go, this time I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Memories, good days, bad days (memories, good days, bad days)
They'll be with me always (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 (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through
(this time we're through,
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 go, this time I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do


3.Take A Chance On Me

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

If you change your mind (take a chance...)
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

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

We can go dancing (oh)
We can go walking (yeah)
As long as we're together (long as we're together)
Listen to some music (oh)
Maybe just talking (yeah)
Get to know you better (get to know you better)
'Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there
Afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind (take a chance...)
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

Take a chance on me (come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me

Oh, you can take your time, baby (oh)
I'm in no hurry (yeah)
Know I'm gonna get you (know I'm gonna get you)
You don't wanna hurt me (oh)
Baby, don't worry (yeah)
I ain't gonna let you (I ain't gonna let you)
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough
To last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
No, I can't let go
'Cause I love you so

If you change your mind (take a chance...)
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me (take a chance, take a chance, take a chance
on me)

Ba-ba ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba ba
Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me (take a chance, take a chance, take a chance
on me)


4.Money, Money, Money

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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
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
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
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


5.Rock Me

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

You can do magic, baby
And I can't get enough of it

Nice and gentle if you want me to
Just as long as I'm in love with you
Yours forever, honey, that's what I
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, yeah

Rock me
Give me that kick now

And I can't get enough of it

I can teach you how to rock alright
Your sweet lover, honey, that's what I
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, yeah


6.Eagle

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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 can fly)
I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, High
What a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
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 can fly)
I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, High
What a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas

And to go anywhere that I please


7.Angel Eyes

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
I keep thinking, aah

Last night
I was takin' 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 (aha-ha)
It's a game he likes to play

Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
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 angel eyes
Oh, no no no no

A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
I keep thinking, aah

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? (aha-ha)
How can I forget that name

Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
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 angel eyes
Crazy 'bout his angel eyes
Angel eyes
He took my heart and now I pay the price
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 angel eyes
Oh, no no no no

A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
A a-ah a-ah ah
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking I've had to pay the price
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
A a-ah
I keep thinking
A a-ah a-ah ah
I keep thinking I've had to pay the price


8.Dancing Queen

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

You can dance
You can live
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for 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
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

9.Does Your Mother Know

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

You're so hot
Teasing me
So you're blue but I can't
Take a chance on a chick like you
It'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
Oh, but girl you're only a child

Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could 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 could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could 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 could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?


10.Chiquitita

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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 leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'

Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in
the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more 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 tumblin' 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 leavin' (you and I we know how all the
heartaches come and go)
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end (and you'll be dancing once again, and all
the pain you take will end)
You will have no time for grievin'

Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in
the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more 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

11.Summer Night City

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

Summer night city
Summer night city

Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city

In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free

When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breath and time to live

Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city

It's elusive
Call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere

When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow
When it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream
It's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach

Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city


12.I Wonder(Departure)

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

This park and these houses
Old streets I have walked
Everything dear
Will it be here
One day when I am returning?

My friends will get married
Have children and homes
It sounds so nice
Well-planned and wise
Never expecting surprises

I wonder
It's frightening
Leaving now
Is that the right thing?
I wonder
It scares me
But who the hell am I
If I don't even try?
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take t
It can't go wrong

My friends and my family
This dull little town
Buses I've missed
Boys that I've kissed
Everything old and familiar

I wonder
It's frightening
Leaving now
Is that the right thing?
I wonder
Oh, it scares me
But who the hell am I
If I don't even try?
I'm not a coward
Oh no, I'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes, I will take it
It can't go wrong


13.The Name Of The Game

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

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 (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me feel (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me show (doo-doo doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I trust in you (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (aah)
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 (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me feel (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me show (doo-doo doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I trust in you (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (aah)
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)
And 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)
And it means a lot


14.Thank You For The Music

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

I'm nothing special
In fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke
You've probably heard it before
But I have a talent
A Wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens
When I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say

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

Mother says I was
A dancer before I could walk
She says I began
To sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered
How did it all start?
Who found out that nothing
Can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well who ever 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
