(B.Andersson / B.Ulvaeus)

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 these shadows away?

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight!

Take me through the darkness till the break of the day.

Movie stars, find the end of the rainbow,

with that fortune to win.

It's so different from the world I'm living in.

Tired of T.V., 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 till 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 till 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 till the break of the day.

Who Needs Love Like That

Who needs love like that

There's something going on

Something not quite right

There's something strange

Happening to me

There's someone at the door

Hear voices in my head

It seems things aren't the way

They ought to be

Who needs love like that

Who needs love like that

It seemed so clear before

I held my point of view

I kept my conversation

Never changed

Now it's all gone wrong

Words are kind of hard

Nothing else around me

Looks the same

Who needs love like that

Who needs love like that

Love can turn you upside-down

And leave you cold

It's plain to see

You're losing all control

(Losing all control)

I'd like to understand

Like to find out why

I can't remember all

The lines that you said

But then I see your face

And nothing really counts

Don't tell me now

This feeling will stay

Who needs love like that

Who needs love like that

Love can turn you upside-down

And leave you cold

It's plain to see

You're losing all control

(Losing all control)

Who needs love like that

Who needs love like that

Love can turn you upside-down

And leave you cold

It's plain to see

You're losing all control

(Losing all control)

Oh l'amour

Oh l'amour

Broke my heart

Now I'm aching for you

Mon amour

What's a boy in love

Supposed to do

Looking for you

You were looking for me

Always reaching for you

You were too blind to see

Oh love of my heart

Why leave me alone

I'm falling apart

No good on my own

Oh l'amour

Broke my heart

Now I'm aching for you

Mon amour

What's a boy in love

Supposed to do

Why throw it away

Why walk out on me

I just live for the day

For the way it should be

There once was a time

Had you here by my side

You said I wasn't your kind

Only here for the ride

Oh l'amour

Broke my heart

Now I'm aching for you

Mon amour

What's a boy in love

Supposed to do

No emotional ties

You don't remember my name

I lay down and die

I'm only to blame

Oh love of my heart

It's up to you now

You tore me apart

I heard inside-out

Oh l'amour

Broke my heart

Now I'm aching for you

Mon amour

What's a boy in love

Supposed to do

Oh l'amour

Broke my heart

Now I'm aching for you

Mon amour

What's a boy in love

Supposed to do

My Heart...So Blue

I've got her picture

It's there on the wall

I can't remember why

I keep it at all

The doors are cold and

All the windows seem grey

I write the book

There's so much more I should say

Wave goodbye

See my heart...so blue

Wave goodbye

See my heart...so blue

And now it's over

I write it all down

No one to notice

One less face in the crowd

Our eyes are open

When it suits us to say

Dear God in heaven

Show no mercy to me

Wave (wave) goodbye

See my heart...so blue

Wave (wave) goodbye

Lost for you

I shed no tears

And there's no reason for shame

A small consolation

Hides a stone with her name

Just a victim

Still the light shines all bright

I've got her picture

Think I'll hold it tonight

Wave goodbye

See my heart...so blue

Wave goodbye

See my heart...so blue

Wave (wave) goodbye

See my heart...so blue

Wave (wave) goodbye

Lost for you
