It can't be 6. Take On Me - A-Ha, can it?

You know it

Can’t be now

Oh no

Can’t be now

Oh no

Can’t be now

Oh no

Can’t be now

Oh no

Can’t be now

Oh no

Can’t be this loneliness

Baby, surrounding me.

No, no, know it just can’t be

No it just can’t be

There’s got to be some kind of answer.

No it just can’t be

And everywhere I look, there’s none around

No it just can’t be

Whoa, it can’t be

No it just can’t be, oh no!

Whoa, hear me now.

... And why can’t anyone ever tell me, now ?

... No it just can’t be

And who could be foolin’ me ?

( hint: It was the first solo composition for a member of this popular group.)
