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 be safe 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
(Fading)
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
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 (when you're gone)
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone (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
SOS
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
SOS
When you're gone (when your gone)
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone (when your 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 (when you're gone)
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone (when you're gone)
Though I try how can I carry on
When you're gone (when you're gone)
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone (when your gone)
Though I try how can I carry on
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 the 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
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(a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you(a-ha)
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
Memories, good days, bad days(memories, good days, bad days)
They'll be with me always(they'll be, with me, always)
In these old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there's only emptiness
Nothing to say
Knowing me, knowing you(a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you(a-ha)
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
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 we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey, Fernando
Since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night
We crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in you 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 we 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 we 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
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
You can dance
You can live
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 a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come 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 '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
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
這一時期的ABBA代表著歐洲的流行文化，並且開始被大量的樂隊效仿。與此同時，ABBA也沒有停步，在隨後的唱片"Arrival" 和1977年的新專輯 "Abba - The Album" 同時還發行了與這張專輯相配套的澳洲巡演紀錄電影 "Abba - The Album"。儘管 "Abba - The Album" 比"Arrival" 更為完美，但在評論界卻未受好評。不過，歌曲仍舊繼續榜上有名，"Take a Chance On Me" , "Thank You For the Music" 和 "The Name of the Game" 都進入榜單前幾名。
If you change your mind (take a chance...)
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
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

Maybe just talking (yeah)
Get to know you better (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

Afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go
If you change your mind (take a chance...)
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me

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 who ever 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
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
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
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 (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me feel (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me show (doo-doo doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I trust in you (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (aah)
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 (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me feel (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me show (doo-doo doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I trust in you (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (aah)
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)
And 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)
And it means a lot
在他們全身心的投注於美國市場的同時，ABBA的專輯在歐洲市場的銷量開始下滑，但這些專輯中的許多歌曲依舊打榜成功，如 "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" , 'Voulez-Vous", "Chiquitita" 和 "I Have a Dream"，但是隨著朋克"Punk" 音樂和英國新浪潮運動的發展，人們感覺ABBA的音樂已經不再是主流，甚至有些過時。
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've broken a feather (how it hurts to see you cry and how it hurts to see you sad)
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 (even though we cry the sun is shining in the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you used to do 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 and I we know how all the heartaches come and go)
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end (and you'll be dancing once again, and all the pain you take 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 (even though we cry the sun is shining in the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you used to do 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
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
儘管ABBA的人氣逐漸下滑，但是這支樂隊在20世紀80年代早期仍然有著眾多聽眾，但是也許是由於不確定的個人原因所致，這支兩個家庭組成的樂隊逐漸的分裂。當時，他們兩組分別進行私人或商業的演出。在導致他們分別錄製了兩張專輯。不管怎樣，歌曲如 "The Winner Takes it All" 和 "One Of Us" 讓人們多少看到了樂隊成員所面臨個人問題。
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 standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I'd belong 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 (takes it all)
The loser has to fall (has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain (yes, it's plain)
Why should I complain? (why 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 (will decide)
The likes of me abide (me abide)
Spectators of the show (of the show)
Always staying low (staying low)
The game is on again (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (big or small)
The winner takes it all (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
Yes, it's plain
Why complain?
