Mamma Mia
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
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
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
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
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

Hey, Hey Helen
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
So at last you're free
It's the way you wanted it to be
And the price you paid
To become a woman of today
Is it worth the pain to see the children cry?
Does it hurt when they ask for daddy?
Hey, hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey, hey Helen
Can you make it alone? (Yes, you can)
So you're free at last (lucky woman)
And beginning to forget the past (lucky woman)
Does it make you sad (being lonely)
When you think about the life you had?
But you're right, you had to take a second chance
So you fight to find your freedom
Hey, hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey, hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
Hey, hey Helen
What's the matter with you? (hey, hey Helen)
Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen)
Don't you know what to do? (Yes, you do)
A-ha, yes you do, yes, you do
A-ha, yes you do, yes, you do
Hey, hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey, hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen)
What's the matter with you?
Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen)
Don't you know what to do?
Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen)
Now you live on your own
Hey, hey Helen (hey, hey Helen) Can you make it alone

Tropical Loveland
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
Come to my loveland
Wander along beautiful gardens full of flowers and songs
Come to the sunshine, beaches and the sand
Listen to two bluebirds, won't you come to my land?
The grass is mellow and the sky is blue
My paradise is waiting here for you
It's a tropical loveland
I wanna share it with you
Life can be funny, happy and sunny
In my tropical loveland
Come to my loveland (to my loveland)
Wander with me (to my loveland) Lie with me darling in the shade of a tree (to
my loveland)
Over the rainbow (to my loveland) Under the moon (to my loveland)
That's where my land is, won't you come to me soon?
Just take my hand, I'll show you everything
The secrets that my paradise can bring
It's a tropical loveland
I wanna share it with you
Life can be funny, happy and sunny
In my tropical loveland
It's a tropical loveland
I wanna share it with you (I wanna share it with you)
It's a tropical loveland (It's a tropical loveland)
I wanna share it with you
It's a tropical loveland
I wanna share it with you

S.O.S.
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
Where are those happy days?
They seem so hard to find
I try 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 even I 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?

Man In The Middle
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Did you see that man
In the limousine?
With the pretty
Only, he's fifty and the girl's only seventeen
But she doesn't care
And she never will
If he's ninety-five
She don't give a damn
Just as long as he pays the bill
Did you see that man
With the fat cigar?
He just left his lunch
With a belly full of lobster and caviar
He can choose a wine
From a vintage year
He will drink champagne
In his limousine
When the rest of us drink a beer
'Cause he's the man in the middle
Never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer
Not the kind of boss
You double-cross
'Cause he's the man in the middle
Knows the way to diddle
He's never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the Devil
'Cause he wants to be
Man in the middle
The middle
The middle
In the middle...
But you see that man
Made a big mistake
Even though he's got
All his servants and a mansion beside a lake
And the money too
All that he can't spend
He can buy the most
Nearly anything
But he can't buy in on his friend
'Cause he's the man in the middle
Never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer
Not the kind of boss
You double-cross
'Cause he's the man in the middle
Knows the way to diddle
He's never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the Devil
'Cause he wants to be
Man in the middle
The middle
The middle
In the middle...

Bang-A-Boomerang
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
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-boome-boomerang
Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum
Oh bang-a-boome-boomerang
Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum
By giving away, I think you'll learn
You'll get love in return
So bang-a-boome-boomerang is love
A boome-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-boome-boomerang
Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum
Oh bang-a-boome-boomerang
Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum
By giving away, I think you'll learn
You'll get love in return
So bang-a-boome-boomerang is love
And if you're warm and tender
I'll kiss you, return to sender
Please surrender

(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
Love me or leave me
Make your choice but believe me
I love you
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I can't conceal it
Don't you see?
Can't you feel it?
Don't you too?
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past
Now I've just made it
I found you at last
So come on
Now let's try it
I love you
Can't deny it
'Cause it's true
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Oh, no hard feelings between you and me
If we can't make it
But just wait and see

I've Been Waiting For You
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
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've been waiting 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've been waiting 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
