"No one is completely on your side..."

Laugh if you will, but there are those who think that Björn Ulvaeus is the greatest dramatic lyricist of the last century. The post-ABBA musicals Chess, Kristina and Mamma Mia! all firmly demonstrate that theory. Others, such as Attitude magazine see Ulvaeus as the "straight poet laureate of gay drama." Whatever side you're on, it's hard to ignore his lyrics. One of his strengths is the ability to capture the feelings women experience when falling out of love. I always knew he was a genius...

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 lonely

One of us is only

Waiting for a call

Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small

Wishing she had never left at all...
