ABBA - Should I Laugh Or Cry Lyrics

[@DriftingWanderer1]

This has been a teenage favourite of mine. That voice of Frida is heavenly.

[@erikandersson6145]

Top quality music and Fridas fantastic voice. R.I.P Rutger Gunnarsson (on bass)

[@nopcshere6097]

RIP ABBA drummer Ola Brunkert as well, who died in a freak accident at his home in 2008.

[@albertonieto7599]

Frida, hermosa voz,una bellísima pelirroja, tenemos el mismo color de ojos, excelente profesional, felicitaciones

[@rickfox4068]

She was my favorite ABBA member... I loved her I Know Something is Going On song

[@maicod]

One of the forgotten masterpieces ! I SO love it ! Eery and yet funny in one and the music track is phenonomal too !

[@shirabetty8483]

I can't stop listening to this song! What a masterpiece! Why does this song sound so beautiful and cool? And incredible lyrics! Amazing Frida!

[@chawleyyy]

💛

[@nneragland8649]

Me too

[@bladesmark1]

Yet another ABBA song that should've been a hit .... One of many

[@markoakerbee3220]

These lyrics are so pointed......Frida does them brilliantly....diction is so loose you can't really work them out so thank you for posting them!!!!

[@lidianota3150]

Ogni giorno scropo canzoni nuove . grazie FRIDA

[@АллаСавельева-я8ф]

Люблю❤😘 и Обажаю АВВА!!! 👑Мои Кумиры на всю жизнь. Очень счастлива, что они есть и я их слушаю.

[@williamgranero8239]

Any Abba song has the capacity to change my state of mind to a never ending world of happiness and peace of mind...

[@yaweigu7035]

Genius! The beat, the voice, the lyrics, the instrument, the chorus, all of them are in harmony! The style is so preemptive!

[@tuaparulian4975]

been searching for this song. you're not gonna believe if I told you how long I have been waiting to come across this song. I heard this song when I was 15 and my English was not enough to know the title. This is certainly ABBA's rare gem.

[@markstevenson3825]

So glad you found it :)

[@pacus1970]

Yes, Completely understand how happy you are. Cheers

[@marksharmanmusic1]

Glorious track. Amazing synths, frida lead and ghostly almost other worldly backing vocals. Only Abba could produce something like this. This band never ceases to amaze me with the sheer magnitude of heir talent

[@jms9754]

La voix ❤FRIDA ❤

[@williamgranero8239]

I truly get hypnotized by the lyrics of this song every time I listen to it

[@williamoverly1617]

Something about Swedish realism is so mature and adult.

[@AlexRutiaga]

This song is about a woman that got tired of his husband and doesnt care about him anymore. This song is genius, holy shit

[@MrJadedtom]

I agree, Alex. One of ABBA's best compositions. The music, arrangement and lyrics are all very well thought out. Amazed me the first time I heard it! Genius indeed!

[@chawleyyy]

One of my all-time favourite songs, sadly unheard by 99.9% of the world

[@williamgranero8239]

I’m not sure. There is a part in the song that goes:”his toes to grown in size” it sound more fit for a child and not for a husband

"Standing on his toes to grown in size" refers to a person who is trying to look more intimidating than it actually is. The song depicts a husband that drives his wife crazy and she is tired of him

[@edwardssonko1651]

To me I see the song fits a teenager boy who is trying to reason with his mom about life.

[@tahirhamid4835]

ABBA songs are my companions since my childhood. ABBA songs are of all the moods & times. Know my daughter has got maaried and whenever I listen the song " slipping through my fingers " it makes me cry.

[@nneragland8649]

Oh my gosh...this is meeee too. Only ABBA, always ABBA!

[@tasbomber]

and i thought I had and heard every ABBA song...then i stumble on this gem....luv it luv ABBA!:-)

[@lisalisgarciavillegas1178]

Gem indeed ... Wow... ❤

[@rosswinslow5585]

Nice thing about abba songs, they are time less. Look at all the years fans have remarked about theses songs. Amazing

[@mikerusso4312]

i never really new the lyrics to this song i'm glad i found them wow!! what a song i have tears in my eyes

[@amandaprill5349]

Really love Frida singing voice on the chrous of the song alot as she sings the chrous of this song lovely

[@ute9999]

Fridas Voice super 👌💥🌷

[@opicatchu2164]

Certainly the more complex song from ABBA to understand for a non english language spoken as me (i m french) !!!! What a difference between mamma mia lyrics and that great song!!!!!

[@resireg]

It is called evolution.

[@nintendy]

Don’t forget that ABBA Popularity Chart where it spent 12 weeks in the Top 20 and made it to the top! Top 20 Chart Positions were; 16 - 12 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 5 - 6 - 20. Not bad going for a ‘B’ Side! Great Song!

[@bobbyyounger7632]

Thank you ! Finally, I see and understand all the lyrics .....one of my favs , love the musical sounds and arrangement

[@mirjanaspoljaric7997]

The message is: I do not love you any moore. I am free!!❤

[@jules2885]

I’ve got this on album. But not until today have I really listened and read and understood the lyrics

[@josealfredoolivo8136]

Sensacional...simple y sencillamente..

[@erikandersson6145]

ABBA forever

[@geupelboi]

Yes, I agree. Actually, it would have to be between this and "Fernando", but they are such two different songs. "Fernando" is the "sound of ABBA" at their best, but this song is so unlike anything they'd ever done before. So mature and deep and moving. This song is ABBA's unheralded masterpiece.

[@chawleyyy]

There are so many of them though, and Frida’s voice so essential to all of their best work! Me And I is another hidden classic.... I Let The Music Speak.... Like An Angel... the world needs to know just how brilliant Frida is 💛

[@ritazaragoza9020]

love, love, love, ABBA

[@giocanoy9212]

All i see is a big balloon Halfway up to the moon❤❤❤

[@perth45]

I could never tell any of the words back then....great lyrics though....

[@MrJadedtom]

I always thought Agnetha sang this. The words are actually 'gives me all his small philosophy' not 'of his small philosophy' which makes no sense. The melody is lovely. The vocals are reminiscent of the Munchkin singers in 'The Wizard of Oz'. This should have been a hit, but it was the 'B' side. I'm not sure if she talking about a husband. Could be a boyfriend she's tired of. One of the few times ABBA wandered into the dark side of love and relationships. Loved it on first hearing!

[@rickfox4068]

"One of the few times ABBA wandered into the dark side of love and relationships?" Are you serious... Approximately 20% of their songs are about failed relationships....

[@rhematarot]

Gives me of his small philosophy Carries on the way he does And me I get so tired And I wonder should I laugh or cry

[@rickfox4068]

Gives me ALL his small philosophy

[@martiencordia7309]

Vreselijke goed.

[@eli-k]

love it

[@plecman]

Sublime

[@Gandim45]

It's very telling that all she sees is a big balloon. She knows that she only has to say a few words to make him go pop.

[@mironaconstantin]

😂😂😂😂😂 Clar Razi😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@asmundkrakevik1215]

One of my ABBA-favourite! BUT - this song has a very strong verse but maybe one of ABBAs weakest refrain.

[@sundareshvenugopal6575]

Would he be death on two toes ? What is he afraid of and what is he running away from ? Not all ballons are hot air balloons, and some do not come back.

[@Kometto-7FAD]

Очень нравится песня. Всегда гадал, о чем она. Очень откровенно и оскорбительно. Надеюсь, это не о Б. Андерссоне?

[@francisformalhautmoon535]

Wow?

[@amalia4509]

This song is from America to Trump: "High and mighty his banner flies, a fool's pride in his eyes, standing there on his toes to grow in size... all I see is a big balloon halfway up to the moon, he's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon of an eternal lie.... so should I laugh or cry...." Genius lyrics.

[@gordontaylor3489]

Amalia S: Well done, made me chuckle when I read this.

[@carolhackman7323]

Amalia S obviously you have no respect for ABBA

[@Ogeroigres]

More like Maduro in Venezuela.

[@ineseknese1238]

Amalie, this is not the place to publish your political affection or dislike ...miserable ...

[@TheHoliday077]

so true

[@joelcross1355]

This song should become the theme song of the Biden Administration.
