[Verse 1]
People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room, your eyes are glowing in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean

[Chorus]
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (Ah-ha)
Now is all we get (Ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets (Ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (Ah-ha)
You know what to do (Ah-ha)
La question c'est "Voulez-vous?"
Voulez-vous

[Verse 2]
I know what you think
"The girl means business, so I'll offer her a drink"
Looking mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
Master of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean

[Chorus]
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (Ah-ha)
Now is all we get (Ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (Ah-ha)
You know what to do (Ah-ha)
La question c'est "Voulez-vous?"

[Pre-Chorus]
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean

[Chorus]
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (Ah-ha)
Now is all we get (Ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (Ah-ha)
You know what to do (Ah-ha)
La question c'est "Voulez-vous?"
Voulez-vous

[Bridge]
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)

[Chorus]
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (Ah-ha)
Now is all we get (Ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (Ah-ha)
You know what to do (Ah-ha)
La question c'est "Voulez-vous?"
Voulez-vous
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (Ah-ha)
Now is all we get (Ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (Ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (Ah-ha)
You know what to do (Ah-ha)
La question c'est "Voulez-vous?"

ABBA are one of the greatest pop outfits in history. Their blend of lush orchestrations and light, bouncy europop was both unique and commercially appealing, taking much of the world by storm.

The band name is a member-centric acronym – Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.

Their meteoric rise was sparked by their famed Eurovision performance of original song “Waterloo”, which caused them to win the 1974 competition in Sweden.
