One of Us - ABBA

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 a 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 a 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

Wishing she had never left at all
