ABBA - One of Us

They passed me by,

all of those great romances.

You were, I felt, robbing me

of my rightful chances.

My picture clear,

everything seemed so easy.

And so I dealt you the blow –

one of us had to go.

Now it’s different,

I want you to know.

One of us is crying, one of us is lying

in her lonely bed,

staring at the ceiling,

wishing she was somewhere else instead.

One of us is lonely, one of us is only

waiting for a call.

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small,

wishing she had never left at all.

I saw myself

as a concealed attraction.

I felt you kept me away

from the heat and the action.

Just like a child,

stubborn and misconceiving.

That’s how I started the show –

one of us had to go.

Now I’m changed,

and I want you to know.

One of us is crying, one of us is lying

in her lonely bed,

staring at the ceiling,

wishing she was somewhere else instead.

One of us is lonely, one of us is only

waiting for a call.

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small,

wishing she had never left at all.

Never left at all.

Staring at the ceiling,

wishing she was somewhere else instead.

One of us is lonely, one of us is only

waiting for a call.

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small…
