Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Oh admit it... you LOVE ABBA! :D



If you change your mind, 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, if 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

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'Cos you know I've got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind, 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, if 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
(Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go
'Cos I love you so

If you change your mind, 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, if 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, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me

8. Yes! We could!
And then my appraisals would be late, which they're going to be...because I spend too much time checking up on DU.

Look for something left in this world
Start again

15. 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.

:P

13. Who doesn't?
"When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to Abba songs. But since I've met you and moved to Sydney, I haven't listened to one Abba song. That's because my life is as good as an Abba song. It's as good as Dancing Queen."

23. Well yes ... I do love Abba
Edited on Wed May-18-05 08:38 PM by BattyDem

But I have to admit ... I laughed my ass off at Terence Stamp's line in "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" ...

"I've said it once and I'll say it again ... no more fucking ABBA!"



If you're ever in NYC, you MUST see Mamma Mia! You'll have a great time! :-)

PS: If that "female" face looks slightly familiar ... it's probably because you've seen Superman I and II! ;-)

27. It is one of my all-time favorite movies!
And Stamp is one of my all-time favorite actors. :loveya:

I laugh every time I watch the DVD. I know all the lines by heart ... I know when the jokes are coming ... but still I sit there laughing my ass off, LOL! :rofl:

To this day, whenever I hear "I Will Survive" on the radio, I giggle. :-)
