Keep an Eye on Dan Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I said goodbye
And I did not cry
Though my heart ached

[Chorus]
Keep an еye on Dan
Promise me you can
Hе 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

[Bridge]
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


[Chorus]
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 (I won't forget to come back on Sunday to get him)
I'll be back on Sunday to get him
So keep an eye on Dan

What did ABBA say about "Keep an Eye on Dan"?
Genius Answer

Dan is the little child; his two parents are divorced and he is being left with one parent. All of us who have been divorced know what it’s like to leave that little kid and seeing how absorbed that little kid is with the other parent. And he waves, or she, and you stand there and you feel, “Argh.” I find it interesting to explore things that happen in relationships that haven’t been explored before. I don’t think that this has.
