IF IT WASN'T FOR THE NIGHTS
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
LOVERS (lIVE A LITTLE LONGER)
Sit down and listen 'cause I've got good news for you
It was in the papers today
Some physician had made a discovery
This' what she had to say:
(Oooh you know that)
She said that every result she had backed her
Claiming that love's a longevity factor
So lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah
I can imagine, I'll see in my fantasy
I'll enjoy every day
Making love is a dynamite drug, baby
So why don't we start right away
(Ahh, please don't wait)
I don't care if they're watching 'cause listen
We've got a reason for each time we're kissing
'Cause lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah
I just don't care if they're watching 'cause listen
We've got a reason for each time we're kissing
'Cause lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah
Lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

LA CANCION:
"Si No Fuera Por Las Noches" es el trigésimo sencillo de ABBA y fue el tema con más influencia disco de su álbum Voulez-vous, liberada el 23 de Noviembre de 1978. Al igual que el sencillo anterior, 'Summer Night City', al principio fue requerido como el sencillo promocional para el próximo álbum de ABBA, "Voulez-Vous", pero tarde o temprano no fue incluido.
Fue escrita por Benny y Björn y se grabó el 8 de abril de 1978 en los estudios de Polar Music. Su primer título fue Pandemónium y está incluido en el álbum Voulez-Vous como la pista número 7. La canción habla sobre como una persona si no fuera por las noches podría olvidar a su expareja.
La canción se convirtió en un éxito en Japón llegando a la posición 18 y sería la canción que Abba daría a la UNICEF, pero cuando finalmente Chiquitita se terminó, fueron dejado de lado los planes. If It Wasn't For The Nights se convirtió en solo una pista del álbum pero posteriormente fue lanzado como sencillo limitado en Japón y otros territorios. Comúnmente era interpretada por el grupo en sus tours de 1979 y de 1980.
El Lado B del sencillo fue 'Amantes (Viven Un Poco Más)'. Fue escrita por Björn y Benny, siendo grabada el 13 de marzo de 1978 en los estudios de Polar Music, y su primer título fue Horn Per. La canción habla de que en un reciente estudio científico se ha demostrado que el amor es un factor en la longevidad. Este tema viene incluido en el álbum Voulez-Vous como la pista número.
'Si No Fuera Por Las Noches' al igual que Chiquitita no tuvieron un vídeo a medida y en ambos casos se utilizó el vídeo hecho en un especial. La diferencia es que el vídeo de If It Wasn't For The Nights no es oficial ya que se utiliza la presentación del especial de Navidad de Mike Yarwood Show.
"Si No Fuera Por Las Noches", fue sorpresivamente para el grupo, un nuevo golpe para ABBA.
