1. _ 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
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
Let me hear you sing once more like you did 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'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
Let me hear you sing once more like you did 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

2. _ 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 (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
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
Mem'ries (mem'ries), 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 (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
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. _ 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 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
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should i 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
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner 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......

4. _ 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 made me feel alive, but something died i fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish i understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. o. s.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. o. s.
When you're gone
How can i even try to go on?
When you're gone
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?

5. _ Take A Chance On Me
If you change your mind, i'm the first in line
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if 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, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'cos you know i've got
So much that i wanna do, when i dream i'm alone with you
It's magic
You 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, 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, if 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, i'm in no hurry, know i'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, 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
'cos i love you so
If you change your mind, i'm the first in line
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if 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 baa, ba ba ba ba baa

6. _ 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 for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
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 for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
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 for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo

7. _ Angeleyes
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah
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
Then 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 hypnotized
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
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah
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 hypnotized
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
Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no no no no
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking, i had to pay the price

8. _ 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 i never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If i had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando
Now we're old and grey fernando
And since many years i haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful 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
I would, my friend, fernando...

9. _ Voulez Vous
People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what i mean
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now is all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous...
I know what you think
"the girl means business so i'll offer her a drink"
Looking mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd
I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
Master of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what i mean
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now is all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets

Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)

10. _ Honey Honey
Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, 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

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, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
You look like a movie star
(you look like a movie star)
But 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, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now i know what they mean, you're a love machine

11. _ Dancing Queen
You can dance, you can jive, 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 the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in 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 them 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

13. _ 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-ahaaa
All the things i could do
If i had a little money
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-ahaaa
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-ahaaa
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

14. _ 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
(wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine i was glad to hear you're coming
(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
(still i'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when i think i'm going crazy
(think i'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright
(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

15. _ 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?

16. _ 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?
(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
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......
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)
(that 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)
(that it means a lot)
