ABBA

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too? I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

[Chorus]
Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past
Now I just made it, I found you at last

[Verse 2]
So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it
'Cause it's true, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Oh, no hard feelings between you and me
If we can't make it, but just wait and see

[Verse 3]
So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it
'Cause it's true, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
So love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too? I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

Are you ready to dance the night away? Then turn up the volume and listen to “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” by ABBA. Originally released in 1975, this international hit showed us once again why the Swedish band became one of the most popular groups of the disco era. Although the US had to wait a year to see this song on their music charts, it quickly captured the hearts of music lovers worldwide.

About I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do

“I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” is a song about love and marriage, evoking a sense of joy and happiness. The catchy melody and upbeat tempo make it an irresistible song to dance to, making it one of ABBA's most popular hits of all time. The song was written by the band's songwriting duo, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, who often drew inspiration from their personal lives.

Listening to the song, you can't help but be swept away by the lyrics. Each verse expresses the happiness and love the two singers feel, so it's no surprise that the chorus is a repetition of "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do". The lyrics are simple, but they sum up the joy of a long-lasting love story, one that lasts through thick and thin, through “easy or tough” times.

While the song is well-known for its disco influence, there are still some elements of classical music shining through, especially in the piano accompaniment in the introduction. ABBA's signature harmonies also make an appearance in this song, as the vocalists sing the catchy chorus in unison.

Despite its success overseas, “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” struggled to make a significant impact in America. However, the song still holds a special place in the hearts of music lovers worldwide. The song's popularity only continued to grow over the years, with countless covers and followers by artists all around the world.

In terms of lyrics, "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" stands out for its simplicity and repetitive nature. However, what makes it so memorable is the melody's underlying joyfulness and the harmonies added in by the band's talented vocalists. It’s a timeless classic that has brought smiles to peoples’ faces for decades.
