One of Us Liedtext

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…

"One of Us" was the first official single release in which both couples within the band had divorced.
It would become ABBA's last major hit, and the last No. 1 single of their career.
