The Best Of Abba

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

I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself i sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how can i go on here without you?

Yes i'm down and feeling blue
And i don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, i stare at the phone on the wall
And i sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

You were here and now you're gone
Hey did i do something wrong?
I just can't believe that i could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking

Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, i stare at the phone on the wall
And i sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

You think you're gonna make me sulk, you and your fancy car, ah-ha-ha
But i can tell you honey your tricks ain't gonna get you far, ah-ha-ha
They say that money's got a magic touch
But not to me, it doesn't mean that much
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Chasing, dazing, driving me crazy
But i'll never be your girl
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long

You didn't have to send me flowers like you did today, ah-ha-ha
I wouldn't keep a thing from you, i gave them all away, ah-ha-ha
The girls might fall for everything you've got
But i'm not one of them, you know i'm not
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Chasing, dazing, driving me crazy
But i'll never be your girl
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long

I've been cheated by you since i don't know when
So i made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will i ever learn?
I don't know how but i suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and i can hear a bell ring
One more look and i forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here i go again
My my, how can i resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much i've missed you
Yes, i've been 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 the things that you do
I can't count all the times that i've told you we're through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that i'm not that strong.
Just one look and i can hear a bell ring
One more look and i forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here i go again
My my, how can i resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much i've missed you
Yes, i've been 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

Oh, my love it makes me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?

Baby, give me one more
Dance while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow.
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance, it's our way to say goodbye

Yes, all we have to do is
Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
But we didn't make it 'cause nothing's the same
We just couldn't help it, nobody's to blame
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye

Yet it seems to make me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?

Baby, give me one last
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night i met you
Dance and believe me, when you're gone
You know i won't forget you
Our love was a snowbird, it's flying away
You tell me it's over, what more can i say?
So dance while the music still goes on
It's gonna be our last goodbye

Dance while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow.
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye

Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night i met you
Dance and believe me, when you're gone
You know i won't forget you

Every day in the morning on her way to the office
You can see as she catches a train
Just a face among a million faces
Just another woman with no name
Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special
If you knew her i am sure you'd agree
'cause i know she's got a little secret
Friday evening she turns out to be

Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like cinderella, just like cinderella
Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play
But she knows the fun would go away
If she would play it every day

So she's back every morning to her work at the office
And another week to live in a dream
And another row of early mornings
In an almost never-ending stream
She don't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain
Everybody seems to think she's a bore
But they wouldn't know her little secret
What her friday night would have in store

Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like cinderella, just like cinderella
Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play
She would like to play it every day

Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like cinderella, just like cinderella
Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play
