ABBA

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know that this shouldn't be a traumatic event, but it is
And I feel so bad
My little boy looks so happy, he throws me his "Go, mummy" kiss
And he loves his dad

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I loved him, too
Maybe I still do
But it's over

[Chorus]
Keep an eye on Dan
Promise me you can
He gets out of hand if you let him
So keep an eye on Dan (Keep an eye on Dan)
And don't forget (And don't forget)
I'll be back on Sunday to get him
So keep an eye on Dan

[Verse 2]
Certain that I'm out of sight, I pull over and turn off the car
And I bang the wheel
I can't believe that I've actually held it together this far
Seeing how I feel
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I said goodbye
And I did not cry
Though my heart ached

[Chorus]
Keep an еye on Dan
Promise me you can
Hе gets out of hand if you let him
So keep an eye on Dan (Keep an eye on Dan)
And don't forget (And don't forget)
I'll be back at seven on Sunday to get him

[Bridge]
I, I think he must have lost some weight
Funny how it takes me back to our first date
So keep an eye on Dan

[Chorus]
Keep an eye on Dan
You're a loving man
Make an effort not to upset him
Just keep an eye on Dan (Keep an eye on Dan)
And don't forget (I won't forget to come back on Sunday to get him)
I'll be back on Sunday to get him
So keep an eye on Dan
