UNDER ATTACK
Sophie:
Don’t know how to take it
Don’t know where to go
My resistance running low
And every day the hold is getting tighter
And it troubles me so
Nightmare Chorus:
You know that I’m nobody’s fool
Sophie:
I’m nobody’s fool
And yet it’s clear to me
I don’t have a strategy
It’s just like taking candy from a baby
And I think I must be
Sophie & Nightmare Chorus:
Under attack
I’m being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won’t somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, ‘cos I’m falling apart
Under attack
I’m taking cover
They’re on my track, three dads, one lover
Thinking nothing can stop them now
Should I want to
I’m not sure I would know how
Sophie:
This is getting crazy
I should tell them so
Really let my anguish show
I feel like I was trapped within a nightmare
I’ve got nowhere to go
Nightmare Chorus:
Still undecided I suppose
Sophie:
Yes, it’s what I wanted
but I’m scared as hell
Staring down the deepest well
I hardly dare to think of what would happen
Where I’d be if I fell
Sophie & Nightmare Chorus:
Under attack
I’m being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won’t somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, ‘cos I’m falling apart
Under attack
I’m taking cover
They’re on my track, three dads, one lover
Thinking nothing can stop them now
Should I want to
I’m not sure I would know how
Nightmare Chorus:
You know that I’m nobody’s fool
Sophie & Nightmare Chorus:
Under attack
I’m being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won’t somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, ‘cos I’m falling apart
Under attack
I’m taking cover
They’re on my track, three dads, one lover
Sophie:
Thinking nothing can stop them now
Should I want to
I’m not sure I would know how
ONE OF US
Donna:
They passed me by
All of those great romances
Because of your robbin me
Of my rightful chances
My picture clear
Everything seemed so easy
But then you dealt me the blow
One of us had to go
How you hurt me
I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself
Feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing you had never left at all
Never left at all
Sam:
Donna. What’s the rush?
Donna:
The wedding.
Sam:
Oh yeah, about the wedding. Why didn’t you tell me it was Sophie getting married?
Donna:
That is absolutely none of your business.
Sam:
And what’s this Sky guy like? Is he good enough for her?
Donna:
And that is none of your business either.
Sam:
Alright, be a bloody martyr, listen, I’ve got kids. I know it’s hard for you doing it on your own.
Donna:
Don’t bloody patronize me. I love doing it on my own
every morning I wake up and thank Christ I haven’t got some
middle-aged menopausal man to bother me
I’m free, I’m single, and it’s great!
S.O.S.
Sam:
Where are those happy days?
They seem so hard to find
I try 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? S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me. S.O.S<[>
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone, though I try
How can I carry on?
Donna:
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
Donna/Sam:
So when you’re near me, darling
Can’t you hear me? S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me. S.O.S
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone, though I try
How can I carry on?
So when you’re near me, darling
Can’t you hear me? S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me. S.O.S
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone, though I try
How can I carry on?
DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW
Tanya:
You’re so hot, teasing me
So you’re blue
But I can’t take a chance on a kid like you
It’s something I couldn’t do
There’s that look in your eyes
I can read in your face
That your feelings are driving you wild
But boy, you’re only a child
Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it’s funny
But does your mother know that you’re out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you’re out?
Pepper:
Take it easy…
Tanya:
Take it easy
Better slow down boy
That’s no way to go
Does your mother know?
Pepper:
Take it easy…
Tanya:
Take it easy
Try to cool it boy
Play it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young
To be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I’m not the one
Now you’re so cute
I like your style
And I know what you mean
When you give me a flash of that smile
But boy, you’re only a child
Everyone:
Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it’s funny
But does your mother know that you’re out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you’re out?
Pepper:
Take it easy
Better slow down girl
That’s no way to go
Tanya:
Does your mother know?
Pepper:
Take it easy
Try to cool it girl
Play it nice and slow
Tanya:
Does your mother know?
Everyone:
Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it’s funny
But does your mother know that you’re out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you’re out?
Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it’s funny
But does your mother know that you’re out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you’re out?
Does your mother know that you’re out?
Does your mother know that you’re out?
KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU
Sam:
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
This is how the story ends
This is goodbye
Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it
This time we’re through
Breakin’ up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing Me, Knowing You
It’s the best I can do
Mem’ries, good days, bad days
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
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it
This time we’re through
Breakin’ up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing Me, Knowing You
It’s the best I can do
OUR LAST SUMMER
Harry:
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
We made our way along the river
And we sat down on the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh, yes
Those crazy years
That was the time of the flower-power
But underneath
We had a fear of flying
Of getting old
A fear of slowly dying
We took our chance
Like we were dancing our last dance
Harry & Donna:
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Harry:
In the tourist jam
Donna:
Round the Notre Dame
Harry & Donna:
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Donna:
Paris restaurants
Harry & Donna:
Our last summer
Harry:
Morning croissants
Harry & Donna:
Living for the day
Worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play
Donna:
And now you’re working in a bank
The family man, a football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet, you were the hero of my dreams…
Harry & Donna:
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain….
SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS
Donna:
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home
In the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent-minded smile
I watch her go
With a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I’m loosing her forever
And without really entering her world
I’m glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what’s in her mind
Each time I think I’m close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes
Her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake
I let precious time go by
Then when she’s gone
There’s that old melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt
I can’t deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go?
Well some of that we did
But most we didn’t
And why, I just don’t know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what’s in her mind
Each time I think I’m close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Donna & Sophie:
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers –
Donna:
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile…
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
Donna:
I don’t wanna talk
About the 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 belonged 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 the dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It’s simple and it’s plain
Why should I 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
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don’t wanna talk,
‘Cause it makes me 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
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

Don’t you too? I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I HAVE A DREAM
Sophie:
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
Company:
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
Sophie:
I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream
I have a dream
