Oh, baby, sit right down on my leg

Hey, listen, honey
There's something you should know
This can't wait
I've been meaning to tell you a long time ago
And today's that day

The thing is, babe

Between your mama and yourself
Forced to choose and without help
With a margin you know it's true
The one I love, well, honey, well, it's probably you

Oh, sure, it took a little time
I know that's true
But this thing been preying on my mind
Since I met you
This I know

Between your mama and yourself
Forced to choose and without help
With a margin you know it's true
The one I love now, baby, well, it's probably you

You've got to know
Well, it's got to show
Yeah, I've got to let her go
You've got to know
Yeah, I've got to let her go
Oh no, no, no

You've got to know
Well, it's got to show

Between your mama and yourself
Forced to choose and without help
With a margin you know it's true
The one I love now, honey, baby, don't you know it's you

Between your mama and yourself
Forced to choose and without help
With a margin you know it's true
The one I love now, honey, well, baby, don't you know it's your mama, babe
It's your mama, babe

It's got to be you
It's got to be you
It's never been anyone

​a-ha

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
