Just Like That - Lyrics by ABBA


Lyrics

Until that day
My life had been a river
Following the same, pre-destinated course
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising forces
My strongholds broke down all too easily
I remember well
How it did embarrass me
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style

Chorus
Just like that
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But i led him on
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned

And once again, the river's flowing slowly
Following the same and uneventful course
Now the tears have dried
It's become a pleasant break
I recall without remorse
But now and then
I wonder where he is
And i will admit
He had something that i miss
I guess he was a rolling stone
The only one i've known

Repeat chorus
