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 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 Misconveiving
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 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 Is Only
Waiting For A Call
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
Producer(s): Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
This Is A Rare Heartbreak Song From Abba. Written By Their Male Members Björn Ulvaeus And Benny Andersson, It Reflect The Hardships They Both Faced In Going Through Divorce. The Song Is Reminding The Former Love That Although He (It's Sung By The Girls Of ABBA And Thus From A Female Perspective) May Be Doing Ok, She Is Still Struggling.
This Was The First Single Released From Abba's Final Studio Album The Visitors. It Gave The Group Their Final Top 20 Chart Placing In The Uk. Had The Charts Been Compiled At Christmas That Year, "One Of Us" Would Almost Certainly Have Taken The #1 Spot. However, With No Chart Compiled That Christmas, The Human League's "Don't You Want Me" Retained The Top Spot. The Song Only Managed To Peak At #107 On The Us Billboard Chart.
