Don't Shut Me Down
 作词 : Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus
 作曲 : Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus
A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter
Now it's quiet so I guess they left the park
This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour
The sun is going down it's getting dark
I realise I'm cold the rain begins to pour
As I watch the windows on the second floor
The lights are on it's time to go
It's time at last to let him know
I believe it would be fair to say
You look bewildered
And you wonder why I'm here today
And so you should I would
When I left I felt I'd had enough
But in the shape and form I appear now
I have learned to cope
And love and hope is why I am here now
And now you see another me I've been reloaded yeah
I'm fired up don't shut me down
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
I'm fired up I'm hot don't shut me down
I'm not the one you knew
I'm now and then combined
And I'm asking you to have an open mind
And I won't be the same
I'm not the same this time around
Ooh
I'm fired up don't shut me down
Will you leave me standing in the hall
Or let me enter
The apartment hasn't changed at all
I got to say I'm glad
Once these rooms were witness to our love
My tantrums and increasing frustration
But I go from mad
To not so bad in my transformation
So now
And now you see another me I've been reloaded yeah
I'm fired up don't shut me down
Don't shut me down
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
I'm fired up I'm hot don't shut me down
I am not the one you knew
I'm not the one you knew
I'm now and then combined
And I'm asking you to have an open mind
And I won't be the same
I'm not the same this time around
Ooh
I'm fired up don't shut me down
You asked me not to leave
Well here I am again
And I love you still and so I won't pretend
I have learned to cope
And love and hope is why I am here now
