Paroles Don't shut me down Abba

Don't shut me down

A while ago, I heard the sound of children's laughter

Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park

This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour

The sun is going down, it's getting dark

I realise I'm cold, the rain begins to pour

As I watch the windows on the second floor

The lights are on, it's time to go (ooh)

It's time at last, to let him know

I believe it would be fair to say, "You look bewildered"

And you wonder why I'm here today

And so you should, I would

When I left, I felt I've had enough

But in the shape and form, I appear now

I have learned to cope, and love and hope is why I am here now

And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded

I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down

I'm not the one you knew, I'm now, and then combined

And I'm asking you to have an open mind (and I won't be the same)

I'm not the same this time around (ooh)

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

Will you leave me standing in the hall or let me enter?

The apartment hasn't changed at all

I've got to say, "I'm glad"

Once these rooms were witness to our love

My tantrums and increasing frustration

But I go from mad, to not so bad

In my transformation

And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah

I'm fired up, don't shut me down (don't shut me down)

I'm like a dream, within a dream, that's been decoded

I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down

I am not the one you knew (I'm not the one you knew)

I'm now, and then combined

And I'm asking you to have an open mind (now, I'll not be the same)

I'm not the same this time around (ooh)

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

You ask me not to leave

Well, here I am again

And I love you still and so I won't pretend

I have learnt to cope, and love and hope is why I am here now
