Baby, you can do magic
baby, isn’t it tragic
maybe you can do something I can’t
and I can’t get enough of it
baby, you can do wonders
maybe you can do something I can’t
so don’t stop doing it
don’t stop doing it
baby, you can do wonders

Baby, you can do wonders
maybe you can do something I can’t
so don’t stop doing it
don’t stop doing it
baby, you can do wonders

Baby Don't You Cry No More

Written by: Anni-Frid Lyngstad & Rod Argent
Recording began: 20 de Octubre 1982, at Polar Music Studios, Stockholm
Album: Something's Going On (1982)
Lead vocal: Frida

Baby don't you cry no more, no more
Baby don't you cry no more
I've been a lot of trouble
But I won't no more
Baby don't you cry, no baby don't you cry no more

I'm listening to that midnight whistle blow
Just listening to that whistle blow
And come tomorrow morning
I'll be leaving on a train
Listening to that whistle blow

I confess to being a fool
Bled your heart
And did you cruel
So I'll leave you with your eyes closed
And your head turned from the door
And you won't have to cry no more

Walk away, sad to say, it's grown thin
Love is cold when it's old
You can hold on too long
So wipe away the salt tear
From your eye so red and sore
Baby don't you cry no more

Baby don't you cry no more, no more
Baby don't you cry no more
I've been a lot of trouble
But I won't no more
So baby don't you cry, no baby don't you cry no more

Makin’ 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

Like a bang-a-boome-boomerang
dummi-dum-dummi, dummi-dum-dum
a bang-a-boome-boomerang
love is a tune you hummy-hum-hum
by givin’ away
I think you’ll learn
you’ll get love in return
so bang-a-boome-boomerang is love
a boome-boomerang is love

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 feelin’ you’re showin’
is a boomerang you’re throwin’

Yes a bang-a-boome-boomerang
dummi-dum-dummi, dummi-dum-dum
a bang-a-boome-boomerang
love is a tune you hummy-hum-hum
by giving away
I think you’ll learn
you’ll get love in return
so bang-a-boome-boomerang is love
a boome-boomerang is love

And if you’re warm and tender
I’ll kiss you, return to sender
please surrender

Bang-a-boome-boomerang
dummi-dum-dummi, dummi-dum-dum
a bang-a-boome-boomerang is love
a boome-boomerang is love

Burning My Bridges

Written by: Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus
Recording began: 3 de Junio 1980, at Polar Music Studios, Stockholm
Album: Super Trouper (1980)
Lead vocal: Björn

Well, you hoot and you holler
and you make me mad
and I’ve always been under your heel
Holy Christ what a lousy deal
now I’m sick and tired
of your tedious ways
and I ain’t gonna take it no more
oh no no – walkin’ out that door

Burning my bridges
cutting my tie
once again
I wanna look into the eye
being myself
counting my pride
no un-right neighbour’s
gonna take me for a ride
burning my bridges
moving at last
girl I’m leaving
and I’m burying the past
gonna have peace now
you can be free
no one here
will make a sucker out of me
