Ring ring - ABBA (1973) (live) with lyrics

This was a 1973 single by ABBA, which gave the group their big break in several European countries
Andersson, Ulvaeus and Anderson were invited to submit a song for the Swedish selection process in order to choose their entry for the 1973 Eurovision Song Contest. After several days, Andersson and Ulvaeus came up with the tune for the Swedish version of "Ring Ring", with the working title "Klocklåt" (Clock Tune). Stig Anderson wrote the lyrics with the intention of making a "poppy" song, trying to remove the pomp and circumstance surrounding the Eurovision Song Contest at the time.

After this, the song had been retitled "Ring Ring". To make it more accessible to a universal audience, Anderson asked American songwriter Neil Sedaka to pen the lyrics for an English version, together with his songwriting partner, Phil Cody.


(Lyrics)

I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
baby by myself
I sit and wait and wonder about you
it's a dark and dreary night
seems like nothing's going right
won't you tell me honey
how can I go on here without you
yes, I'm down and feeling blue
and I don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring
why don't you give me a call
ring, ring
the happiest sound of them all
ring, ring
I stare at the phone on the wall
and I sit all alone impatiently
won't you please understand the need in me
so, ring, ring
why don't you give me a call
so, ring, ring
why don't you give me a call

You were here and now you're gone
hey did I do something wrong
I just can't believe that I could be
so badly mistaken
was it me or was it you
tell me, are we really through
won't you hear me cry
and you will know that my heart is breaking
please forgive and then forget
or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

Ring, ring
why don't you give me a call
ring, ring
the happiest sound of them all
ring, ring
I stare at the phone on the wall
and I sit all alone impatiently
won't you please understand the need in me
so, ring, ring
why don't you give me a call
so, ring, ring
why don't you give me a call

The name of the game - ABBA (1977) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

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

What's 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

Smile - Pussycat (live) with lyrics

TOP OF THE POPS (13th January 1977)
Introduced by David Hamilton



(Lyrics)

There were days I couldn't weep
Nights I couldn't sleep
And everything I did just turned out wrong
Till there was you to dry my tears
Whisper love words in my ears
And this is why I'm glad you came along

(Chorus)
Now there's a smile
To cheer me up when I'm lonely
That I can call whenever I'm feeling down
Smile and you know that I'm only
Longing for the minute you'll be around
Help me 'cause I'm trying to get over
The way I thought of love many times before
If ever you should go away,
And nobody else would be near
There's always a smile to remember that you were here

If I could fly I'd fly away
To a bright blue summer's day
Trying to share my love with you forever more
Darling you made my life complete
You're everything I need
I'll never be the same I was before

Wet day in september - Pussycat (live) with lyrics

(Lyrics)

Raindrops fallin' tender
As I stare outside my window
And I see the clouds are passin' by.
I am feelin' lonely -
Uh
I love you
uh
I want you

Uh
I need you so I think I'll die.

And as I fall asleep

All the tears I weep
Are because
uh
I love you

Uh
I want you

Uh
I need you so I think I'll die.

But there's the morning sun
And all wakes upthat I can be fun

Then all my dreams are gone.

But how can I dream when you're gone my love

And you're makin' love
With every girl
but not with me ?
Yes
times have been changed since you went away

That I heard you say:
I love you
I need you
So much I think I'll die.
Yeah
I love you need you.
So much I think I'll die.

Why must I remember
Every wet day in September?
Just because
uh
I love you

Uh
I want you

Uh
I need you so i think I'll die.

But how can I dream when you're gone my love

My broken souvenirs - Pussycat (1977) (live) with lyrics

(Lyrics)

For each moment of tears
I still have my souvenirs
Cherished in a pocket full of dreams
I could hold, I could feel
Kept pretending they were real
Long time after lovers stayed away
Now a picture of you
I had cherished so true
Even kissed till I'd see you again,
But when

(Chorus)
I've been crying today
Threw my memories away
Someting died, as I cried
For my broken souvenirs
As I reach for the sun
Find a place I belong
Now your one of my broken souvenirs

If you need me again,
There's no way you really can
Pasted pieces never make a whole
And if you leave your room
On some windy afternoon
Tried to see where all the pices flew
It was hard to get on
Since my memories were gone
But if you'll ever see me again
I can.

(Repeat Chorus)

Now your one of my broken souvenirs
Baby your one of my broken souvenirs
