1973: Ring Ring

You and I had a groovy time. But I told you somewhere down the line. You would have to find me gone. I just have to move along. Another Town, Another Train

I know it doesn’t matter just how hard I try. You’re all the reason for my life. Disillusion, disillusions- all you left for me. Disillusion

How can I forget you when my world is breakin’ down? You’re all I had, you’re all I want. Disillusion, disillusions now, that’s all I have. Disillusion

Everybody knows that a man who’s feeling down wants some female sympathy. Gotta have love to carry on living. Gotta have love till eternity. People Need Love

Somebody who loves you and somebody who cares- isn’t that what you call a friend? Gotta have love to carry on living. Isn’t it easy to understand?. People Need Love

I never thought I could cry for you. But, honey, I will miss you ’til the day I die. I Saw It in The Mirror

We gotta have patience. Love isn’t just a sensation. Some of the time it gets rough. Love isn’t easy but it sure is hard enough. Love Isn’t Easy

If I would have to choose, I wouldn’t let you go. Just give it some more time and you will see. Our love will grow, darling, I know. Love Isn’t Easy

She’s just my kind of girl. She makes me feel fine. Who could ever believe that she would be mine? She’s just my kind of girl. Without her I’m blue. And if she ever leaves me, what could I do? She’s My Kind Of Girl

1974: Waterloo

Where is the spring and the summer that once was yours and mine? Where did it go? I just don’t know. But still my love for you will live forever. Hasta Manana

Hasta manana, ’til we meet again. Don’t know where, don’t know when. Darling, our love was much too strong to die. We’ll find a way to face a new tomorrow. Hasta Manana

Oh, my love, it makes me sad. Why did things turn out so bad? Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?. Dance

Our love was a snowbird, it’s flying away. You tell me it’s over, what more can I say? So dance while the music still goes on. It’s gonna be our last goodbye. Dance

I’d heard about you before, I wanted to know some more. And now I know what they mean- you’re a love machine. Oh, you make me dizzy!. Honey, Honey

I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing. Honey, Honey

You move like a flame of fire. Your eyes like a flash of lightning, the answer to all desire. And I’m gonna tame you, wild thing. Watch Out

Dance while the music still goes on just like the night I met you, dance and believe me, when you’re gone you know I won’t forget you. Dance

Gonna sing you my love song. Gonna bring you some light. Wanna make you feel happy every day of your life. Gonna Sing You My Lovesong

You’re my love, you’re my angel. You’re my first, you’re my last. Would she care if you linger for another night? Wanna hold you tight, we could make it right. Gonna Sing You My Lovesong

1975: ABBA

Come to my loveland; wander with me. Lie with me darling in the shade of a tree, over the rainbow, under the moon. That’s where my land is, won’t you come to me soon? Tropical Loveland

Just take my hand, I’ll show you everything; the secrets that my paradise can bring. Tropical Loveland

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. SOS

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. SOS

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. Bang-A-Boomerang

Oh, bang a boom-a-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 boom-a-boomerang is love, a boom-a-boomerang is love. Bang-A-Boomerang

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. Bang-A-Boomerang
