ABBA - KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU
Knowing Me, Knowing You (Ah-Haa)
There Is Nothing We Can Do
Knowing Me, Knowing You (Ah-Haa)
We Just Have To Face It, This Time We're Through
(This Time We're Through, This Time We're Through
This Time We're Through, We're Really Through)
Breaking Up Is Never Easy, I Know But I Have To Go
(I Have To Go This Time
I Have To Go, This Time I Know)
Knowing Me, Knowing You
It's The Best I Can Do
Mem'ries (Mem'ries), Good Days (Good Days), Bad Days (Bad Days)
They'll Be (They'll Be), With Me (With Me) Always (Always)
In These Old Familiar Rooms Children Would Play
Now There's Only Emptiness, Nothing To Say
Knowing Me, Knowing You (Ah-Haa)
There Is Nothing We Can Do
Knowing Me, Knowing You (Ah-Haa)
We Just Have To Face It, This Time We're Through
(This Time We're Through, This Time We're Through
This Time We're Through, We're Really Through)
Breaking Up Is Never Easy, I Know But I Have To Go
(I Have To Go This Time
I Have To Go, This Time I Know)
Knowing Me, Knowing You
It's The Best I Can Do
Knowing Me, Knowing You (Ah-Haa)
There Is Nothing We Can Do
Knowing Me, Knowing You (Ah-Haa)
We Just Have To Face It, This Time We're Through
(This Time We're Through, This Time We're Through
This Time We're Through, We're Really Through)
Breaking Up Is Never Easy, I Know But I Have To Go
(I Have To Go This Time
I Have To Go, This Time I Know)

SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Stig Anderson
Producer(s): Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
Björn Ulvaeus Of Abba Came Up With This Song At A Time When The Relationships Within The Group Were Strained, And His Lyric Reflect That. Said Ulvaeus: "I Think I Wrote 'Knowing Me Knowing You' Before The Divorce. In Many Ways, Agnetha And My Divorce Was An Amicable One, We Just Grew Apart And Decided Let's Split Up. Benny And Frida's Was A Little More Difficult. It Was Not A Happy Time But Still Very Creative."
This Is A Serious Song By Abba, Probably A Turning Point In Their Career. You Can See A Definite Transition In Abba's Sound Here As They Are Beginning To Leave The Bubblegum Behind And Start Touching On Serious Issues, Such As Divorce. One Can't Help But Wonder If There Was A Foreshadowing Of The Divorces That Would End Up Splitting The Group Up Just A Short Few Years Later.
This Song Also Reached #1 In Ireland, Mexico, South Africa And West Germany.
