Take a chance on me ABBA


If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(That's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'Cos you know I've got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me
Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go
'Cos I love you so

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see

Sunday Morning by Maroon 5


Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

May not know

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning

Taylor Swift BLANK SPACE



Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, want to play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the players, and you love the game

Cause we're young and we're reckless, we'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King baby I'm your Queen
Find out what you want, be that girl for a month
Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the players, and you love the game

Cause we're young and we're reckless, we'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you

So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the players, and you love the game

Cause we're young and we're reckless, we'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name


Taylor Swift, SHAKE IT OFF


I stay up too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say
That's what people say
I go on too many dates
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say
That's what people say
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Singing it's going to be alright
Because the players are going to play
And the haters are going to hate
Baby, I'm just going to shake
I shake it off
I shake it off
Heartbreakers are going to break
And the fakers are going to fake
Baby I'm just going to shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I never miss a beat
I'm lighting up my feet
And that's what they don't see
That's what they don't see
I'm dancing on my own
I make the moves up as I go
And that's what they don't know
That's what they don't know
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Singing it's going to be alright
Because the players are going to play
And the haters are going to hate
Baby, I'm just going to shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers are going to break
And the fakers are going to fake
Baby I'm just going to shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I shake it off...
Hey, hey, hey, just think
While you've been getting down and out
About the liars
And the dirty dirty cheats of the world
You could have been getting down to this sick beat
My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "oh my god"
I'm just going to shake it
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over baby?
We could shake, shake
Because the players are going to play
And the haters are going to hate
Baby, I'm just going to shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers are going to break
And the fakers are going to fake
Baby I'm just going to shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Taylor Swift - Shake it off
No esperes entender el 100 % de la letra de la canción, debes intentar afinar el oído para distinguir las palabras de la letra, aunque no sepas lo que significan en un primer momento, si escuchas varias veces la misma canción te darás cuenta que la letra se va aclarando en tu cabeza.
