ABBA - One of Us lyrics

[ABBA - One of Us lyrics]

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 shaking with
A heart that’s breaking)
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've 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 shaking with
A heart that’s breaking)
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 shaking with
A heart that’s breaking)
One of us is lonely, one of us is only
Waiting for a call
