Why Did It Have To Be Me?
Benny Goran Bror Andersson, Bjoern 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, 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
Happens 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
When you were lonely, you needed a man
Quand tu étais seule, tu avais besoin d'un homme
Someone to lean on, well I understand
Quelqu'un sur qui t'appuyer, je comprends bien
It's only natural
C'est tout à fait naturel
But why did it have to be me?
Mais pourquoi cela devait-il être moi ?
Nights can be empty, nights can be cold
Les nuits peuvent être vides, les nuits peuvent être froides
So you were looking for someone to hold
Alors tu cherchais quelqu'un à tenir
That's only natural
C'est tout à fait naturel
But why did it have to be me?
Mais pourquoi cela devait-il être moi ?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
J'étais si seul, j'étais triste
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Je ne pouvais pas m'en empêcher, ça devait être toi et moi
Always thought you knew the reason why
J'ai toujours pensé que tu connaissais la raison
I only wanted a little love affair
Je voulais seulement une petite liaison
Now I can see you are beginning to care
Maintenant je vois que tu commences à t'inquiéter
But baby, believe me
Mais bébé, crois-moi
It's better to forget me
Il vaut mieux m'oublier
Men are the toys in the game that you play
Les hommes sont les jouets dans le jeu que tu joues
When you get tired, you throw them away
Quand tu te lasses, tu les jettes
That's only natural
C'est tout à fait naturel
But why did it have to be me?
Mais pourquoi cela devait-il être moi ?
Falling in love with a woman like you
Tomber amoureux d'une femme comme toi
Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do
Cela arrive si vite, il n'y a rien à faire
It's only natural
C'est tout à fait naturel
But why did it have to be me?
Mais pourquoi cela devait-il être moi ?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
