Karaoké Don't Shut Me Down ABBA

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

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'd 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

I'm not the same this time around

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 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

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

I'm not the same this time around

I'm fired up

Don't shut me down

You asked me not to leave

Well here I am again

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

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