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
Als du einsam warst, brauchtest du einen Mann
Someone to lean on, well I understand
Jemanden, auf den du dich stützen kannst, das verstehe ich
It's only natural
Das ist nur natürlich
But why did it have to be me?
Aber warum musste ich das sein?
Nights can be empty, nights can be cold
Nächte können leer sein, Nächte können kalt sein
So you were looking for someone to hold
Also hast du nach jemandem gesucht, den du halten kannst
That's only natural
Das ist nur natürlich
But why did it have to be me?
Aber warum musste ich das sein?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
Ich war so einsam, ich war traurig
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Ich konnte nichts dagegen tun, es mussten du und ich sein
Always thought you knew the reason why
Ich dachte immer, du wüsstest den Grund dafür
I only wanted a little love affair
Ich wollte nur eine kleine Liebesaffäre
Now I can see you are beginning to care
Jetzt sehe ich, dass du anfängst dich zu kümmern
But baby, believe me
Aber Baby, glaube mir
It's better to forget me
Es ist besser, mich zu vergessen
Men are the toys in the game that you play
Männer sind die Spielzeuge in dem Spiel, das du spielst
When you get tired, you throw them away
Wenn du müde wirst, wirfst du sie weg
That's only natural
Das ist nur natürlich
But why did it have to be me?
Aber warum musste ich das sein?
Falling in love with a woman like you
Sich in eine Frau wie dich zu verlieben
Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do
Passiert so schnell, es gibt nichts zu tun
It's only natural
Das ist nur natürlich
But why did it have to be me?
Aber warum musste ich das sein?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
Ich war so einsam, ich war traurig
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Ich konnte nichts dagegen tun, es mussten du und ich sein
Always thought you knew the reason why
Ich dachte immer, du wüsstest den Grund dafür
I only wanted a little love affair
Ich wollte nur eine kleine Liebesaffäre
Now I can see you are beginning to care
Jetzt sehe ich, dass du anfängst dich zu kümmern
But baby, believe me
Aber Baby, glaube mir
It's better to forget me
Es ist besser, mich zu vergessen

Someone to lean on, well I understand
Alguém para se apoiar, bem, eu entendo
It's only natural
É apenas natural
But why did it have to be me?
Mas por que tinha que ser eu?
Nights can be empty, nights can be cold
Noites podem ser vazias, noites podem ser frias
So you were looking for someone to hold
Então você estava procurando alguém para abraçar
That's only natural
Isso é apenas natural
