ABBA - If It Wasn't For The Nights Lyrics






I got appointments, work I have to do
Keeping me so busy all the day through
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
Ohhh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
And I lose my temper ten times a day
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
Ohhh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it
I got my business to help me through the day
People I must write to, bills I must pay
But everything's so different when night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights

ABBA If It Wasn't For The Nights Comments
  1. L.... E....

    Listened to this song so many times still love it ABBA will live forever in my house

  2. W.... G....

    This four radiated happiness every time they performed mostly while they were still couples, but how can I explain with words what they make me feel every time I hear them singing my heart literally jumps inside my chest

  3. R.... S....

    what Frida smoke ?

  4. T.... ....

    Back again!

  5. T.... S....

    Oh good sound

  6. I.... G....

    Gotta love Benny

  7. k.... ....

    This song should have made a single. I think it didn't because it's unnecessarily too long. It's certainly my favorite on the album

  8. T.... ....

    Love that bassline.

  9. C.... a....

    Clássico

  10. S.... 3....

    At the chiller I always suggest this song and I start to sing to it then someone asks “do you know this song?”
    Me:
    “YOU DON’T?”

  11. Z.... 2....

    This is the blueprint that led to Kylie Minogue's sound

  12. G.... S....

    Another great song from the amazing Abba

  13. A.... F....

    Put on 1,25x, thank me later :D

  14. l.... ....

    This is one of the most underrated ABBA songs ! Should have been on their greatest hits !

  15. P.... A....

    2019 ciao 😄😄

  16. N.... K....

    Agnetha😍😍

  17. W.... B....

    This song is soo good. It reminds me of Southern California in the late seventies. A mini masterpiece. A timeless classic. Nothing in a dominion years can come close to the magic of ABBA. Forever.

  18. M.... L....

    Que bien baila Frida

  19. A.... V....

    Even if the melody is all friendly you can see the impact of the divorce of Agnetha and Björn on the lyrics. Later, The Winner Takes It All came out.

  20. E.... A....

    I don't understand the huge facination with Agnetha because Frida is so beautiful. Without makeup etc Agnetha is very plain while Frida is naturally beautiful .

  21. D.... M....

    No microphones . Is frida having a fit?

  22. K.... P....

    Im not clever or sophisticated but havent we lost something in 2019 when dancing has gone out of fashion and nobody dares to
    express how they feel and love being alive simply because they are?
    I want to go back.

  23. h.... h....

    best abba song ever made..

  24. T.... S....

    A time ago

  25. D.... W....

    It's timeless.

  26. R.... N....

    So, back again, LOL

  27. 1.... D....

    ABBA forever

  28. R.... N....

    Frida was so hot in this video I catch myself watching this every day just to admire

  29. E.... �....

    I was a fetus in 1978
    💜💚

    E.... �....

    I was probably dancing in my mums stomach when this was playing on the radio .

    E.... �....

    I got the Frida doll , she was dressed in the catclothes you can see at the end of the video , she stole Ken from Barbie .😀

    E.... �....

    You are older than me. I was only a sperm. 😊

  30. A.... D....

    I love Frida

    A.... D....

    So would you tongue kiss her?

  31. s.... A....

    Мрази из ютьюба! Зачем вы восстанавливаете людей против себя и продуктов и товаров которые вы здесь нам навязываете через свою тупую рекламу? Я принципиально не покупаю все что вы рекламируете.

  32. 1.... D....

    Agneta la mejor ! Desde argentina con cariño

  33. C.... S....

    after all this years…..one of ABBA's best song ever... xxx

    C.... S....

    but it wasn't a #1

  34. d.... o....

    Pop music peaked with Abba

  35. k.... ....

    Están en Japón y tienen ropa tradicional china :V

  36. C.... R....

    My favourite ABBA song ever. I have just returned from visiting ABBA The Museum in Stockholm and am still reliving the high of being there. I love the five "TH-" words sung in succession: "....through. They're the things that...". What a high to hear Agnetha and Frida singing "Ooooh Baby I feel so bad..."

    C.... R....

    So you didn't see the ABBA tribute bands?

  37. l.... ....

    I love Agnetha !

  38. D.... M....

    If there are angels in heaven,they must look like Anna"s twins

  39. S.... J....

    To co Frida robi w tańcu przekracza wszelkie granice i jest niesamowite . Niby parę ruchów ale z jakim wyczuciem , rytmem i emocjami .Naprawdę nie potrzeba wielkich choreografii , masy tancerzy i fajerwerków żeby zachwycić.

  40. h.... h....

    like best abba song..

  41. H.... D....

    Love You ABBA Forever 💗💗💗💗

  42. h.... h....

    best abba ever...

    R.... K....

    R K ...Thank You.

  46. B.... ....

    Luke Skywalker on both piano and guitar?!

    B.... ....

  47. h.... h....

    all time abba song..

  48. R.... V....

    I get a kick out of the Agnetha vs. Frida comments lol. Even if you prefer one over the other, can't you just love them both? They are terrific and were born to sing together. All four are great.

    R.... V....

    I do love them both ! They ruined me for other women !

  49. N.... W....

    Incredibly perfect beat and sound.

  50. M.... M....

    Frida just makes me feel happy. Her undeniable beauty yes, but just her enjoyment of performing, her free flow dancing, she just radiates positive energy and fun. I adore her.

  51. h.... h....

  65. V.... C....

    I got appointments, work I have to do 
    Keepin' me so busy all the day through 
    They're the things that keep me from thinkin' of you

  83. b.... p....

    scoperto grazie a youtube da poco questo video/canzone è fantastica, l'ho già sentita 1000 volte!!!

  84. M.... M....

    No wish whatsoever to fall out with my fellow Abba fans, but must hold up my hand and confess to being utterly sold out to Agnetha! Anyways, beautiful song.

  85. M.... M....

    The heavens really worked overtime when making Frida. She is breathtakingly beautiful, talented and complete perfection. Benny was the luckiest guy on earth being with this glorious creature.

    M.... M....

    Mitzy Moo bjorn was lucky too!:)

    M.... M....

    Mitzy Moo love the words you used I totally believe that to be the truth

  86. S.... E....

    Another deceptively cheerful-sounding ABBA track that on close inspection turns out to be something else entirely.

  87. T.... S....

    Abba forever

  88. C.... S....

    Frida was the hottest thing back in 70s. So sexy! Totally owned it and completely stole the show.

    C.... S....

    Cosmic Solution that is why she became a princess 😀 she is just gorgeous.

  89. Z.... K....

    Frida is absolutely amazing,but Agnetha,she s like out of this world,just like an angel❤️

    Z.... K....

    Zuzana Katonová she is 🥰

  90. S.... ....

    This feels totaly different abba but still love that groovy sound.and p.s börje was best !

  91. A.... R....

    Friday! That stage is hers!♡

  92. T.... S....

    Abba forever

  93. L.... L....

    Abba is better than Beatles. Period.

    L.... L....

    Yep in your *opinion* though.

    Well how about lets say... _Better Than Music Nowadays_ eh? Sounds less controversial my friend indeed.

    L.... L....

    Leon Laubert for me yesssss

    L.... L....

    I like the Beatles a heck of a lot. Grew up with then. But, I love ABBA!

    L.... L....

    You must be on crack !

    L.... L....

    Yes they are!!

  94. S.... I....

    The girls are gorgeous, and make such nice disco melodies

  95. J.... G....

    Frida dance soo well I like this music

  96. T.... S....

    Of course a classic
