4 Why did it have to be me

Written by: (B. Andersson / B. Ulvaeus)

When you were lonely
you needed a man
someone to lean on
well I understand
it’s only natural
but why did it have to be me

Nights can be empty
and nights can be cold
so you were looking
for someone to hold
that’s only natural
but why did it have to be me

I was so lonesome
I was blue
I couldn’t help it
it had to be you
and I
always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a
little love affair
now I can see you are
beginning to care
but baby
believe me
it’s better
to forget me

Men are the toys in
the game that you play
when you get tired
you throw them away
that’s only natural
but why did it have to be me

Falling in love with
a woman like you
happened so quickly
there’s nothing to do
it’s only natural
but why did it have to be me

I was so lonesome
I was blue
I couldn’t help it
it had to be you
and I
always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a
little love affair
now I can see you are
beginning to care
but baby
believe me
it’s better
to forget me
