ABBA - Just Like That Lyrics
Until that day
My life had been a river
Following the same, pre-destinated course,
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force.
I remember well,
How it 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
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 only stopped awhile 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...
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 only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned

ABBA Just Like That Comments
By 1982 the music became too mature and less pop. Plus they were not getting on. What a pity, the best band since The Beatles gone, but not forgotten!
Il faudrait ke cette chanson soit enregistrée en studio et paraisse sur un nouveau CD de titres jamais parus ..la version saxo de ce titre est pour moi la meilleure
Why never released ???? what talent to leave this one on the shelf - ABBA = GENIUS
It's a decision of Benny and Bjorn
@ABBA ARGENTINA I know that but what a shame
I Love this version 😍
Love this version!!! The vocals are much clearer than the sax version...
I adore ABBA but have never heard this before. I must say its typical ABBA and as good as anything else they produced. Brilliant masters of melody
If they released a new version of this it would make number 1 fact
it's not a complete song it's a demo Benny already said that song will never come out.
@ABBA ARGENTINA its a demo I will cherish
@Barry Cole It's very good like everything ABBA did
When the waves roll out to sea?
Every time I listen to this (and to the full sax version), I cannot stop asking myself why in the world they considered that such a great song was not worthy to be released... It speaks volumes about how exigent they were with themselves and the music they produced. Hat Off to ABBA! I love them today as much as I loved them 42 years ago, if not more.
This is the 'Slow Version' of 'Just Like That' recorded on 4th May 1982 during sessions for ABBA's 9th album that was never completed, the La, La, La version uses this backing track but Agnetha is singing La, La, La over the instrumental melody.
at the beginning of the song you hear the melody used in de couplets of Under Attack!
Indeed Marcel, I would also say this is better than Under Attack
Brilliant!!!!!
Fucking hell who drew those pictures, Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot?
Great song. I would prefer it on `Visitors` LP over "Two for the Price of One"
It was the decision of Benny and Björn
Two For The Price Of One is a cute song. I'm biased because I used to clean the platforms of my local railway station. Seriously 🚅🚏
When this was first created-they should have given it to Tommy Cooper!
Are you sure? who is he?
@ABBA ARGENTINA Tommy sadly passed on in 1984- a legend in UK `entertainment` circles. `Just Like That` was one of his most recalled sayings- by UK folk.
How much longer do we have to wait.
I do not know I hope it is soon
Forever. There is no hope. They used the line out of it in "Under Attack" long time ago and another line in instrumental "When the waves roll out to sea". Releasing this song = plagiarizing themselves. As professionals , they cant afford to take that risk.
without doubt the best pop track never released...bar none... an absolute masterpiece
I agree Kevin it's just perfect in every way - ultimate Abba!
This is it.
Don't know how to take it don't know where to go…
I've never been able to pick one of their songs as my ultimate favorite. My favorite has always been the one I'm listening to at the moment. With that being said "Just Like That" is my favorite at this moment. Thanks for the post.
Ein wunderbarer Song! ABBA forever!
Wow best quality i heard yet for this song
*Never heard the all of this original track until now. Waited years for this. Thanks!!*
it's a demo not the original
That's what I meant - lol. When this gets taken off YT please put it back on again. Thanks.
@MrBlueSkyMrNight ok, that's what
Had some fun with Photoshop filters I see.
Thanks for your comment
LOVE THE SONG thou the "video" is down right SCARY!
I do not understand you
@ABBA ARGENTINA it means your visualisations with all those filters are creepy af
@draggindrugin what a surprise it never occurred to me that I thought of a more entertaining way to watch videos
@ABBA ARGENTINA No offense, just kidding). Nevertheless, with or without visualisations, Abba's music is what important. Abba is life!
@draggindrugin ABBA Forever
Now that abba have got back together, they really need to release this!
It's true we all expect that.
Yes, I hope so
@ABBA ARGENTINA It's screaming out to be done.. Such a beautiful song that with todays technology and the power of ABBA it would be a ideal comeback song in true abba style.. Here's hoping!!!
And they did , in a strange way , long time ago. Half of it became the instrumental "When the ways roll out to sea". One line made it into "Under Attack". Finally, they allowed 2 other groups --- "Gemini" and "Bjorn Again" to pick up the pieces.
Wow another hidden gem. Vintage Abba but different as well
Thank you so much for sharing ! Love you ❤
