Bang-A-Boomerang

ABBA · The Essential Collection [2012]

Making somebody happy is a question of give and take

You can learn how to show it so come on, give yourself a break

Every smile and every little touch

Don't you know that they mean so much

Sweet sweet kisses so tender

Always will return to sender



Like a bang, a boom-a-boomerang

Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum

Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang

Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum

So give it away, I think you'll learn

You'll get love in return

So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love

A boom-a-boomerang is love



Love is always around and you can look for it anywhere

When you feel that you've found it my advice is to take good care

Never use it as a selfish tool

Never ever be such a fool

Every feeling you're showing

Is a boomerang you're throwing



Yes a bang, a boom-a-boomerang

Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum

Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang

Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum

So give it away, I think you'll learn

You'll get love in return

So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love



And if you're warm and tender

I'll kiss you, return to sender

Please surrender



Bang, a boom-a-boomerang

Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum

Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love
