Sator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?
Yes I'm down and feeling blue
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
You were here and now you're gone
Hey did I do something wrong?
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking
Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

I was sitting by the phone
I was sitting idly by the phone waiting for it to ring
I was waiting all alone
I was lonely and waiting for someone to contact me
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
I am feeling isolated and spend my time thinking about why you haven't contacted me
It's a dark and dreary night
The night feels bleak and hopeless
Seems like nothing's going right
Things are not going well in general, and your absence only compounds the issue
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?
I need you to reach out to me so I can move on from this feeling of solitude
Yes I'm down and feeling blue
I am feeling depressed and unhappy
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh
I am feeling helpless and unsure of how to deal with my emotions
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Please contact me so that we can talk and resolve any issues that may be between us
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
The sound of the phone ringing with your call would make me very happy
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
I am constantly looking at the phone, hoping that it will ring and you will reach out to me
And I sit all alone impatiently
I am anxiously waiting for your call
Won't you please understand the need in me
Please recognize the importance of me being able to talk to you and communicate my feelings
You were here and now you're gone
You were once present in my life, but now you are not
Hey did I do something wrong?
I am questioning if something I did caused our separation
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
I find it hard to believe that I could have made such a serious error and ended up losing your presence in my life
Was it me or was it you?
I am unsure of who or what caused our separation
Tell me, are we really through?
I am pleading with you to confirm whether or not our relationship is over
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking
Please listen to me as I express my emotions, and you will realize how much pain I am in
Please forgive and then forget
I am hoping that we can reconcile and move on from whatever caused our separation
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
It would be even better if we never had to go through this hardship and could remain together
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
I am still waiting for your call and hope that you will reach out to me soon
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
I am reiterating my request for you to contact me

The thing about ABBA songs is that you can interpret it in any genre and it’ll still sound good!

Cant get any better then this! So much retro feelings. Thx Sator
Rasputin's Liver
Ha! I love the original ABBA version. But this is the best cover of it I've heard. Reminded of what The Ramones might've done with it. Great version, guys!
teedammit
Definitely what the Ramones would have done with it.
silas antares
Ficou bem legal esta versão. A música ring ring tem melodia e ritmo bom para o heavy metal.

This goes on to show the respect ABBA gets.

How could I have missed these guys for so long? Brilliant cover. Reminds me of The Hives in its Punk-y intensity.
