(Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus)
I don't wanna talk About 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's 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 (So the winner takes it all) (And the loser has to fall) (Throw a dice, cold as ice) (Way down here, someone dear) (Takes it all, has to fall) (And it's plain, I complain) (fade) |

You called all the way from America
And said hang on to love girl But the weeks and the months and the tears Passed by And my eyes couldn't stand the strain Of that promised love All the way from America You called all the way from America And said I'll soon be home girl But the years and the tears and the fears Passed by And my heart couldn't stand the pain Of that promised love All the way from America All the way from America I stayed all alone and I waited 'round For you to knock at my door But the knock never came and no ring At all And now I sit and wonder why You made that first call All the way from America I don't believe I'll stay here I don't think I wanna wait here any more And if you search for me baby Better bring some more love than you declared All the way from America |

Sung by commodores(the ##)
Bady, Morning's just a moment away And I'm without you once again You laughed at me You said you never needed me I wonder if you need me now So many dreams that flew away So many words we didn't say Two people lost in a storm Where did we go?? Where'd we go?? We lost what we both had found You know we let each other down But then most of all I do love you Still------------------ We played the games that people play We made our mistakes along the way Somehow I know deep in my heart You needed me "Cause I needed you so desperatly!" We were too blind to see But then most of all I do love you Still------------------ |

Action!
I had a dream on a back lot And saw my life like a long shot Of smiling faces in a picture parade Of all the stills from the films that you made That we would see in the Essoldo After drinking coffee at the (G.O. condo? Giocondo?) Elstree, remember me? I had a part in a B movie I played a man from history Elstree, I look at me Now I work for the BBC Life is not what it used to be I took no dives in the fight scene I had a stuntman keep my suit clean There's no technology to fake up a song They stop the orchestra if you get it wrong Elstree, remember me? I had a part in a B movie I played a man from history Elstree, I look at me Now I work for the BBC Life is not what it used to be Elstree They made a field into a war zone I beat the enemy on my own All the bullets just went over my head There's no reality and no one dead in Elstree, remember me? I had a part in a B movie I played a man from history Elstree Elstree Elstree Elstree Elstree Cut! |

The case was pulled from under the bed
She made a call to a sympathetic friend And made arrangements The door was closed there was a note I couldn't be bothered maybe I'll choke No more engagements With where have you beens And faraway frowns Trying to be good By not being round And here in the bar The pianoman's found Another nail in my heart That stupid old bug That kills only love I want to be good Is that not enough So play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart Then play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart I had excuses those little boy lies Then she computed by watching my eyes And told me firmly She couldn't stand it I'm bad on the heart She dropped her makeup and I found the bar Now it concerns me I've had a bad time Now love has resigned I've been such a fool I've loved and goodbyed So here in the bar The pianoman's found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar The pianoman's found Another nail for my heart |

There once was a King,
who called for the Spring, For his world was still covered in snow, But the Spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean, In his winter-fields nothing would grow And when a traveller called seeking help at the door, Only food and a bed for the night, He ordered his slave to turn her away, The girl with April in her eyes. Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes, Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow, Hi, hi, hi, on and on she rides, Someone help the girl with April in her eyes... She rode through the night till she came to the light, Of a humble man's home in the woods, He brought her inside, by the firelight she died, And he buried her gently and good Oh the morning was bright, all the world was snow-white, But when he came to the place where she lay, His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave, Of the girl with April in her eyes Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes, Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow, Hi, hi, hi, on and on she flies, She is gone, the girl with April in her eyes. |

Je n'ai marre with your theatrics,
Your acting's a drag, It's ok on TV, but you can turn it off, Your marriage is a tragedy, But it's not my concern, I'm very superficial I hate everything official, Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death, You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath, Attachment to obligation, through guilt and regret, shit that's so wet And your sex life complications are not my fascinations, Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh! You asked my advice I say use the door, But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore, And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail, I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry, Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh! Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x8) |

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful A miracle Oh, it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees Well, they'd be singing so happily Oh, joyfully Oh, playfully watching me But then they sent me away To teach me how to be sensible Logical Oh, responsible, practical And then they showed me a world Where I could be so dependable Oh, clinical Oh, intellectual, cynical There are times when all the world's asleep The questions run too deep For such a simple man Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned? I know it sounds absurd Please tell me who I am I say, now watch what you say Or they'll be calling you a radical A liberal Oh, fanatical, criminal Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable Respectable Oh, presentable, a vegetable Whoa, take it, take it, take it, yeah But at night when all the world's asleep The questions run so deep For such a simple man Won't you please, (Won't you tell me, won't you tell me what we've learned?) please tell me what we've learned? (Can you hear me, I know it sounds absurd) I know it sounds absurd (Won't you help me, tell me who I am) But please tell me who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am, yeah Ooh Hey 'Cause, I'm feeling so logical Hey D-d-d-d-d-d-d-digital Yeah, one, two, three, five Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah Ooh, it's getting unbelievable Yeah Ooh |

I just can't pretend no more, I keep runnin' out of lies
Lovin' you is killin' me inside Every time I find the words to end it, something in your eyes won't let it [Chorus:] Shandi, tonight must last us forever, Forever we say goodnight and go home But you know me very well, and I know you, You can't tell me goodnight (say goodnight) We been holding on so tight, we're afraid to let it go Shake it loose, we both could use the ride Here's another mess I got myself in, and when you touch me you ain't helpin' [Chorus] Say goodnight when we should say goodbye (say goodbye) (Shandi, Shandi) Tonight must last us forever and ever Forever we say goodnight and go home Shandi, Shandi, tonight must last us forever |
