[Verse 1: Agnetha & Frida]
I got appointments, work I have to do
Keeping me so busy all the day through
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
(Oh, baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it)
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
And I lose my temper ten times a day
Still, it's even worse when the night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]
Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Agnetha & Frida]
No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
(Oh, baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it)
I got my business to help me through the day
People I must write to, bills I must pay
But everything's so different when night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]
Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)

[Chorus: Agnetha & Frida]
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)

[Outro: Agnetha & Frida and Björn]
For the nights
(Woo)
Hello, everybody
It's almost three years since we played London the last time and it's far too long
It's great to be back, I can tell you that
Thank you
Um, I would like to introduce to you, a good friend of mine
A very good old friend of mine
She's standing right behind me here
It's the blonde one
She's just about to sing "As Good As New"

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.
