SOS
阿巴 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you 'bout a boy (girl) I know.
He(She) is my baby and he (she) lives next door.
Every morning 'fore the sun come up,
He (she) brings my coffee in my fav'right cup.

That's why I know, yes, I know,
Hallelujah, I just love him (her) so.
When I'm in trouble and I have no friends,
I know he'll (she'll) go with me until the end.

Everybody asks me how I know.
I smile at them and say he (she) told me so.
That's why I know, yes, I know,
Hallelujah, I just love him (her) so.

Now if I call him (her) on the telephone,
And tell him (her) that I'm all alone,
By the time I count from one to four,I hear him (her) on my door.
In the evening when the sun does down,

When there is nobody else around,
He (she) kisses me and he (she) holds me tight.
He (And) tells me "Baby, (Daddy) every thing's all right."
That's why I know, yes, I know,





Hallelujah, I just love him (her) so.

[Verse 1]
Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find
I tried 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

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S
And 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?

[Outro]
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 true! The first song I listened from them was "One Of Us" (which ironically is one of the last ones) and now I am addicted to them, so perfect!

Dancing Queen
Knowing me, knowing you
When all is said and done
I have a dream
Another town, another train
Winners take it all
Summer night city
I've been waiting for you
This one (SOS)
Thank you for the music
Angeleyes
One of us
Lay all your love on me

And sooo many other great perfect songs! Surely they are one of the best bands ever, with lots of top songs. Love them! #ABBA2018

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?
You seemed so far away, though you were standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died, I fear
I really tried to make it up, I wish I understood
What happened to our love? 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?
So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me, S.O.S.?
And 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?
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried 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?

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear

Though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

Ooohhhh! Oohhh, the ... melody, the ... ahh, the ... the harmony, James! Oh yes! The music, James! Aahhhh!
Thank you Mr Bond! What a performance!

I cannot find all the words!

"Well, my dear, I shall get you a dictionary so you can keep on improving your English vocabulary." (To paraphrase the opening scene to The Spy Who Loved Me.)
That's what was great about the 70s: Pop was fun. Bond was fun, not a robot. Nothing too forlorn or God-forsaken.
