[Verse 1: Agnetha, Frida & Björn]
You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, way down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst (And when you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed (And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose
[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]
It's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
[Verse 2: Agnetha, Frida & Björn]
My friend Sam is a chauffeur, Annie goes to school
Jerry works at the office, Sue lies by the pool
But on all weekends (Together again)
When I meet my friends (I'm gonna see them now)
And we're looking 'round for the action, we sure play it cool
[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]
It's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
[Bridge: Agnetha & Frida]
Ah-ha (ah-ha, ah-aa) You paint your world and use all colours
Ah-ha (ah-ha) And then you find it all comes out too bright
You know it's only a lie
Ah-ha (ah-ha, ah-aa) The songs you sing are too romantic
Ah-ha (ah-ha) And when you want the truth
They only spit in your eye
Oh yeah, they're only telling you lies
Oh yeah, there's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
[Verse 3: Agnetha, Frida & Björn]
You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, way down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst (And when you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed (And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose
[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]
It's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
It's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
It's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
It's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, way down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst (And when you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed (And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose
[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]
It's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul

To fill the hole in your soul
It's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock 'n' roll
To fill the hole in your soul
