(B. Andersson / B. Ulvaeus)

 

Until that day
my life had been a river
following a safe predestinated course
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
with uncompromising force
My strongholds broke down all too easily
I remember well
how he did embarrass me
I hung on to his every smile
marveled at his style

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'd only stopped a while for a chat
but my secrets he learned
leaving no stone unturned

And once again
the river's flowing slowly
following its safe 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

 

Just like that…

 

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
as though he'd only stopped a while for a chat
but my secrets he learned
leaving no stone unturned
Just like that
