People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
Weve done it all before and now were back to get some more
You know what I mean

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now is all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Aint no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question cest voulez-vous
Voulez-vous...

I know what you think
The girl means business so Ill offer her a drink
Looking mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd
Im really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
Master of the scene
Weve done it all before and now were back to get some more
You know what I mean

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now is all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Aint no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question cest voulez-vous

And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
Weve done it all before and now were back to get some more
You know what I mean

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now is all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Aint no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question cest voulez-vous

Voulez-vous...

Voulez-vous (ah-ha)

相隔多年﹐Erasure也曾翻唱 ABBA的歌曲作出致敬﹐推出“Abba-esque”(1992/Mute/Elektra) EP﹐4首歌曲中便有這首Voulez-vous﹐也是此EP中最具水準的一首。“Abba-esque”在英國流行榜稱冠達5星期。

Voulez-vous 的 B Side是Angeleyes﹐它在英國跟Voulez-vous作為雙 A Side Single發行﹐可是受歡迎卻及不上Voulez-vous。然而在美國它沒有跟英國一樣雙 A Side Single 發行﹐然而它還是獨立上榜﹐得到第64位。

Angeleyes﹕原收錄為單曲Voulez-vous 的 B Side ﹐並且也收錄於“Voulez-Vous”(1979/Polydor) 專輯中。

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah

Last night I was taking a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave made me shiver
Cause he always used to look at me that way
And I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say
Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play

Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no no no no

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah

Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same
Every time when I see him, will it bring back the pain?
Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name?

Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into his angeleyes
Crazy 'bout his angeleyes
Angeleyes
Once he took my heart and now I pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no no no no

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah

Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price
