Life is a place
You will remember well
In the darker nights
I've been losing you

I was there with you
Alone, now what can I do
The sun is days away
I have lost my way

Please now
Talk to me
Tell me
Things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
I've been losing

You've been acting strange
I don't know what to do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

Please now
Talk to me
Tell me
Things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
I've been losing you

Please now
Talk to me
Tell me
Things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
I've been losing you

(Please now)

Talk to me
Tell me
I don't know what to do

(Aaaaa-aaah)

I have lost my way
I've been losing you

Hey-hey-hey-hey...

I've been losing you
I've been losing you
I've been losing you

Oh-yeah
I've been losing you

Oh-yeah
I've been losing you

Oh-yeah
I've been losing you

Oh-yeah
I've been losing you

Oh-yeah
(I lost my umbrella last night)

Oh-yeah

Oh-yeah
(So what? It kept me dry!)

Oh-yeah
(I had to go out in the rain all day, I'm soaking wet)

​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.
