[Verse 1]
Sit down and listen 'cause I've got good news for you
T'was in the papers today
Some physician had made a discovery
This' what she had to say:
(Ooh, you know that)
She said that every result she had backed her
Claiming that love's a longevity factor

[Chorus]
So lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice?
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

[Verse 2]
I can imagine, I'll see in my fantasy
I'll enjoy every day
Making love is a dynamite drug, baby
So why don't we start right away?
(Ahh, please don't wait)
I don't care if they're watching 'cause listen
We've got a reason for each time we're kissing

[Chorus]
'Cause lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice?
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

[Bridge]
I just don't care if they're watching 'cause listen
We've got a reason for each time we're kissing

[Chorus]
'Cause lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice?
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

[Outro]
Lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

ABBA

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.
