SUPER TROUPER
(Benny Goran Bror Andersson / Bjoem K Ulvaeus)
Abba
recorded 1980
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me,
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do,
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you!
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow.
All I do is eat and sleep and sing,
Wishing every show was the last show!
(wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming,
(glad to hear you're coming)
Suddenly I feel alright
(and suddenly it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight!
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me,
Shinin' like the sun, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smilin', having fun, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feelin' like a number one!
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me,
But I won't feel blue (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like I always do, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you!
Facing twenty thousand of your friends,
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends,
Still I'm thinkin' about you only!
(Still I'm thinkin' about you only)
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy,
(think I'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright.
(you'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight!
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me,
Shinin' like the sun, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smilin', having fun, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feelin' like a number one!
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me,
But I won't feel blue (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like I always do, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you!
So I'll be there when you arrive,
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms and hold me tight,
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight!
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me,
Shinin' like the sun, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smilin', having fun, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feelin' like a number one!
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me,
But I won't feel blue (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like I always do, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you! (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Lights are gonna find me,
Shinin' like the sun, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smilin', having fun, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feelin' like a number one! (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Beams are gonna blind me,
But I won't feel blue (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like I always do, (sup-p-per troup-p-per)...
