Lyrics

I’ve been cheated by you since I don’t know when
Mama Mia

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
You’ve Got The Love

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin’s College, that’s where I caught her eye.
Common People

I remember when, I remember I remember when I lost my mind
Crazy

Ah well I bless my soul.
All Shook Up
