GOLD (Greatest hits)

(oooo ya)

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life ohh yaa

Ooo.. see that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen ahhh ahhh



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 ohh yaaa

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life 

Ooo.. 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 ohh yaaa

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life 

Ooo.. see that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen 



Dig in the Dancing Queen

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 

There is nothing we can do 

Knowing me, knowing you 

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 

There is nothing we can do 

Knowing me, knowing you 

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

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 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, we can go walking, as long as we're together 

Listen to some music, maybe just talking, 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, 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) 



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) 



Honey I'm still free 

Take a chance on me

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

I wasn't jealous before we met 

Now every woman I see is a potential threat 

And I'm possessive, it isn't nice 

You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice 

But now it isn't true 

Now everything is new 

And all I've learned has overturned 

I beg of you 

Don't go wasting your emotion 

Lay all your love on me 



It was like shooting a sitting duck 

A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck 

I still don't know what you've done with me 

A grown-up woman should never fall so easily 

I feel a kind of fear 

When I don't have you near 

Unsatisfied, I skip my pride 

I beg you dear 



Don't go wasting your emotion 

Lay all your love on me 

Don't go sharing your devotion 

Lay all your love on me 



I've had a few little love affairs 

They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce 

I used to think that was sensible 

It makes the truth even more incomprehensible 

'Cause everything is new 

And everything is you 

And all I've learned has overturned 

What can I do 



Don't go wasting your emotion 

Lay all your love on me 

Don't go sharing your devotion 

Lay all your love on me

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 

(Super Trouper) 

Smiling, having fun 

(Super Trouper) 

Feeling like a number one 

Tonight the 

Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me 

But I won't feel blue 

(Super Trouper) 

Like I always do 

(Super Trouper) 

'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 

(Super Trouper) 

Smiling, having fun 

(Super Trouper) 

Feeling like a number one 

Tonight the 

Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me 

But I won't feel blue 

(Super Trouper) 

Like I always do 

(Super Trouper) 

'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 

(Super Trouper) 

Smiling, having fun 

(Super Trouper) 

Feeling like a number one 

Tonight the 

Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me 

But I won't feel blue 

(Super Trouper) 

Like I always do 

(Super Trouper) 

'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

I have a dream, a song to sing 

To help me cope with anything 

If you see the wonder of a fairy tale 

You can take the future even if you fail 

I believe in angels 

Something good in everything I see 

I believe in angels 

When I know the time is right for me 

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream 



I have a dream, a fantasy 

To help me through reality 

And my destination makes it worth the while 

Pushing through the darkness still another mile 

I believe in angels 

Something good in everything I see 

I believe in angels 

When I know the time is right for me 

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream 

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream 



I have a dream, a song to sing 

To help me cope with anything 

If you see the wonder of a fairy tale 

You can take the future even if you fail 

I believe in angels 

Something good in everything I see 

I believe in angels 

When I know the time is right for me 

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream 

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

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

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

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 

SOS 

The love you gave me, nothing else can save me 

SOS 

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 seemed so far away though you were 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 

SOS 

The love you gave me, nothing else can save me 

SOS 

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 

SOS 

And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me 

SOS 

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

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 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 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 

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 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'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 

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

¿Puedes escuchar, Fernando 

me recuerda tiempo atrás 

estrellas y una noche allá 

en la lumbre azul Fernando 

tarareabas tu canción 

con ese suave guitarrear 

yo podía escuchar 

esos tambores con un sordo redoblar 



Se acercaban más Fernando 

y el momento que pasaba 

parecía eternidad 

y sentí temor Fernando 

por la vida y juventud 

nadie pensaba en morir 

y no siento hoy verguenza al 

confesar que tuve 

ganas de llorar 



Algo había alrededor quizá 

de claridad Fernando 

que brillaba por nosotros dos 

en protección Fernando 

no pensábamos jamás perder 

ni echar atrás 

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer V lo haría ya Fernando 

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer 

lo haría ya Fernando 



La vejez llegó Fernando 

y con ella una paz 

que hoy logramos disfrutar 

se durmió el tambor Fernando 

Paraciera que fue ayer 

que lo vivimos tú y yo 

y en tus ojos veo aún 

aquel orgullo que refleja tu valor 



Algo había alrededor quizá 

de claridad Fernando 

que brillaba por nosotros dos 

en protección Fernando 

no pensábamos jamás perder 

ni echar atrás 

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer 

lo haría ya Fernando 

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer 

lo haría ya Fernando 



Algo había alrededor quizá 

de claridad Fernando 

que brillaba por nosotros dos 

en protección Fernando 

no pensábamos jamás perder 

ni echar atrás 

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer 

lo haría ya Fernando 

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer 

lo haría ya Fernando 



Si tuviera que volverlo a hacer 

lo haría ya 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...

People everywhere 

A sense of expectation hangin' in the air 

Givin' out a spark 

Across the room your eyes are glowin' 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 

Take it now or leave it 

Now is all we get 

Nothing promised, no regrets 

Voulez-vous 

Ain't no big decision 

You know what to do 

La question c'est voulez-vous 

Voulez-vous 



I know what you think 

The girl means business so I'll offer her a drink 

Lookin' mighty proud 

I see you leave your table, pushin' 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 

Take it now or leave it 

Now is all we get 

Nothing promised, no regrets 

Voulez-vous 

Ain't no big decision 

You know what to do 

La question c'est voulez-vous 



And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end

Half past twelve 

And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone 

How I hate to spend the evening on my own 

Autumn winds 

Blowing outside the 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 living 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 

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

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 

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 

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

They passed me by, all of those great romances 

You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances 

My picture clear, everything seemed so easy 

And so I dealt you the blow 

One of us had to go 

Now it's different, I want you to know 



One of us is crying 

One of us is lying 

In her lonely bed 

Staring at the ceiling 

Wishing she was somewhere else instead 

One of us is lonely 

One of us is only 

Waiting for a call 

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small 

Wishing she had never left at all 



I saw myself as a concealed attraction 

I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action 

Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving 

That's how I started the show 

One of us had to go 

Now I've changed and I want you to know 



One of us is crying 

One of us is lying 

In her lonely bed 

Staring at the ceiling 

Wishing she was somewhere else instead 

One of us is lonely 

One of us is only 

Waiting for a call 

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small 

Wishing she had never left at all 

Never left at all 



Staring at the ceiling 

Wishing she was somewhere else instead 

One of us is lonely 

One of us is only 

Waiting for a call

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

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, whoever 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! 



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

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 

Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo 



So how could I ever refuse 

I feel like I win when I lose 



Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to 

Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you 

Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo 

Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you 

Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo 

Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
