                           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
                            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?
                                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...
