  • I know that this shouldn't be
    A traumatic event, but it is
    And I feel so bad
    My little boy looks so happy
    He throws me his "go mummy" kiss
    And he loves his dad
    And I loved him too
    Maybe I still do
    But it's over

    Keep an eye on Dan
    Promise me you can
    He gets out of hand if you let him
    So keep an eye on Dan (keep an eye on Dan)
    And don't forget (and don't forget)
    I'll be back on Sunday to get him
    So keep an eye on Dan

    Certain that I'm out of sight
    I pull over and turn off the car
    And I bang the wheel
    I can't believe that I've actually
    Held it together this far
    Seeing how I feel
    But I said goodbye
    And I did not cry
    Though my heart ached

    Keep an eye on Dan
    Promise me you can
    He gets out of hand if you let him
    So keep an eye on Dan (keep an eye on Dan)
    And don't forget (and don't forget)
    I'll be back at seven on Sunday to get him

    I, I think he must have lost some weight
    Funny how it takes me back to our first date

    So keep an eye on Dan

    Keep an eye on Dan
    You're a loving man
    Make an effort not to upset him
    Just keep an eye on Dan (keep an eye on Dan)
    And don't forget (and don't forget to come here on Sunday to get him)
    I'll be back on Sunday to get him
    So keep an eye on Dan Writer/s: Benny Goran Bror Andersson, Bjoern K. Ulvaeus
