Stellan Skarsgard Lyrics
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

We can go dancing
We can dance together
We can go walking
We can stroll together
As long as we're together
As long as we're a pair
Listen to some music
We can enjoy some songs
Maybe just talking
Perhaps we could converse
You'd get to know me better
You would learn more about me
'cause you know I've got
Because you know I possess
So much that I wanna do
There's so much I want to accomplish
When I dream I'm alone with you
When I imagine a scenario where we are together
It's magic
It's miraculous
You want me to leave it there
You want me to stop expressing my feelings
Afraid of a love affair
Scared of being in a relationship
But I think you know
However, I believe you're aware
That I can't let go
That I can't stop loving you
Oh you can take your time baby
You can take as much time as you need
I'm in no hurry
I'm not in a rush
I know I'm gonna get you
I'm confident I will win your heart
You don't wanna hurt me
You don't want to cause me pain
Baby don't worry
Sweetheart, don't be anxious
Let me tell you now
Allow me to say this
My love is strong enough
My affection is powerful
To last when things are rough
To endure when times are difficult
You say that I waste my time
You claim that I'm wasting my time
But I can't get you off my mind
But I can't stop thinking about you
No I can't let go
No, I can't release my hold on you
'cause I love you so
Because I love you immensely
Baby can't you see
Sweetheart, can't you understand
Gotta put me to the test
You must challenge me
Take a chance on me
Give me an opportunity to demonstrate my worth

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!
