Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 got no place to go
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
You'd get to know me better
'cause 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 got no place to go
When 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 ya)
Take a chance on me
Oh you can take your time baby
I'm in no hurry
I 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
'cause 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 got no place to go
When 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

If you change your mind
If you reconsider your decision
I'm the first in line
I am eager and ready to be chosen
Honey I'm still free
I am available and uncommitted
Take a chance on me
Give me an opportunity
If you need me
If you require my presence
Let me know
Inform me, communicate your desires
Gonna be around
I will be there for you
If you got no place to go
If you have nowhere else to be
When you're feeling down
During times of sadness or low spirits
If you're all alone
When you are without companionship
When the pretty birds have flown
When others have moved on
Honey I'm still free
I am still available and uncommitted
Take a chance on me
Give me an opportunity
Gonna do my very best
I will put forth my utmost effort
And it ain't no lie
This is the truth, not a falsehood
If you put me to the test
If you challenge me or assess my abilities
If you let me try
If you allow me to attempt
Take a chance on me
Give me an opportunity
(that's all I ask of you honey)
(that is my only request, my dear)
Take a chance on me
Give me an opportunity
We can go dancing
We can engage in joyful movement to music
We can go walking
We can stroll together
As long as we're together
As long as we are in each other's company
Listen to some music
Hear and appreciate melodies
Maybe just talking
Perhaps engaging in conversation
You'd get to know me better
You would become more familiar with my true self
'cause you know I've got
Because you are aware that I possess
So much that I wanna do
Many aspirations and desires
When I dream I'm alone with you
During my dreams, it is only you and I
It's magic
It is enchanting and extraordinary
You want me to leave it there
You desire for us to remain distant
Afraid of a love affair
Fearful of entering into a romantic relationship
But I think you know
However, I believe you understand
That I can't let go
That I am unable to release my attachment
Oh you can take your time baby
You can proceed at your own pace, my dear
I'm in no hurry
I am patient, not in a rush
I know I'm gonna get you
I have confidence in winning your affection
You don't wanna hurt me
You do not wish to cause me harm
Baby don't worry
Darling, do not be concerned
I ain't gonna let you
I will not allow you to
Let me tell you now
Allow me to express this to you
My love is strong enough
The intensity of my affection is powerful
To last when things are rough
To endure during challenging times
It's magic
It is enchanting and extraordinary
You say that I waste my time
You assert that I am expending my efforts pointlessly
But I can't get you off my mind
However, I cannot stop thinking about you
No, I can't let go
No, I am unable to release my attachment
'cause I love you so
Because I hold such deep affection for you
Gonna do my very best
I will put forth my utmost effort
Baby can't you see
Darling, can't you perceive
Gotta put me to the test
You must challenge me or assess my abilities
Take a chance on me
Give me an opportunity

When everyone is jumping up and down and the water from the Fountain of Aphrodite just bursts up and out of the ground, it gives me goosebumps. The way the music was edited for that whole part makes it even better.

Mamma mia is one of the movies that does not cease to make me smile every time I watched it :D, every time I rewatch a clip from the film, I cannot help but laugh and grin--a big round of applause to the spectacular cast; Meryl Streep, Julie Walters (she is honestly the funniest character in this story XD), Christine Baranski, Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper and all the people who brought life to this amazing musical :D Cannot wait for the magic they will do in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!
