ABBA - Why Did It Have To Be Me Lyrics






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

ABBA Why Did It Have To Be Me Comments
  1. L.... M....

    I love how into the music Benny gets while playing the piano lol xxx

    L.... M....

    Especially when he all of a sudden bob his head

  2. G.... C....

    Hot damn that bum!!!

  3. r.... ....

    I wonder if Muppets created the character Rowlf inspired in Benny. Both play the piano shaking heavily their heads

  4. C.... B....

    From those magical days back in 1977 to this day, on beaches, in bars and clubs, ABBA still has a very strong grasp on Sydney, and may this be so forevermore! Their music evokes happiness of which there can never, ever be enough in the world! Long live the legend that is ABBA!!

  5. C.... M....

    Thank you thank you thank you for posting this!!!!! Greatest version of this song and the volume is perfectly loud. I can't stop watching this.. Thank you again.... I subscribed

  6. D.... B....

    this song would be a hit today.....it is timeless!

  7. N.... K....

    Where was Agnetha there? Was she pregnant with Christian then?

    N.... K....

    Probably in the washroom. I think the only time she was replaced (by Inge Brungen just for lip synching) was in 1973

    N.... K....

    @resireg Why do you think that she was in the washroom while the others were singing?🤔😅🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe it could also be that she was pregnant with Christian because this tour was in 1977 and Christian was born in December 1977.💗

    N.... K....

    @Natiii K. there is a video of the full concert on youtuve, and she is singing in other songs. Only that one she is not on stage (check her singing "he is your brother"). She was definitely there

    N.... K....

    @resireg Oh that's strange. Maybe she felt nauseous because of that pregnancy and went to the washroom while the other were singing that song.

    N.... K....

    @Natiii K. that is very likely

  8. �.... ....

    Wow.................. Amazing Frida! Thanks for sharing.

  9. J.... E....

    Que energia y carisma de Frida en el escenario gran voz

  10. F.... G....

    Oh My God ! I was looking for this song everywhere but couldn't remember the title ! Thanks for sharing !

  11. �.... �....

    Super!!!!

  12. R.... d....

    so ........ Agnetha's taking a break on this one ?

    R.... d....

    I think Agnetha was pregnant with Christian then

    R.... d....

    Or in the bathroom

  13. C.... G....

    I love Frida

  14. C.... S....

    Frida is 50 years older than me ...and im in love

  15. M.... W....

    2:21 what a voice!

  16. N.... L....

    Love it! This and thank you you for the music

  17. M.... ....

    Que genia Frida voz y actuación, cuanta nostalgia de esos tiempos de ABBA en su esplendor.

  18. H.... L....

    Didnt know this song at all.. its one of their best! May be after Chiqituita and I have a dream..

    H.... L....

    And Tiger..and I have been waiting for you and Fernando..and Ring Ring..and…..??

    H.... L....

    And: Tiger.. I have been waiting for you… Fernando... Ring Ring...and ??

  19. T.... B....

    Love this version lof Why Did it have to be me... its very fantastic

  20. F.... a....

    This is Frida's best live performance. Ever. It's one of the rare ABBA moments where Frida alone sounded better than the two of them on the album.

  21. Y.... O....

    Se ven demasiado felices 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🙃😧💨💨💨💨💨

  22. Z.... ....

    1:02 2:25 Ah Ah AHH

  23. M.... J....

    Funny about the lyrics men's are the toys that they throw away . That's what the boys did with their wives.

    M.... J....

    Yeah. Especially Benny though. He cheated on Frida.

    M.... J....

    @Mrs. Ranch I think Benny resented that Frida would not have his child. So he found a new girl, and she gave him a son (who became a respected musician in Sweden)

  24. C.... L....

    I loved this song in the new Mamma Mia movie, but you can't beat the original

  25. T.... C....

    Where the blond hair girl

  26. b.... ....

    Great song but didn't Benny half ass the vocals?

  27. T.... R....

    ABBA play Status Quo ?

  28. t.... b....

    "The start of something great..."

  29. M.... P....

    ABBA ARE NUMBER ONE and Frida, here, is fantastic!!!!!

  30. w.... ....

    LOL 01:11

  31. R.... S....

    Where is Agnetha?

    R.... S....

    Probably upset that her husband is flirting with her co worker

  32. B.... R....

    Frida is awesome here....as always!

  33. M.... L....

    and Agnetta????

  34. J.... I....

    Love Frida s voice ❤️

  35. C.... ....

    It SO SICKENS ME to see Bjorn acting as though he was ALL THAT!!!., When in Actual Fact it was Agneta who clearly had the LOOKS!! This is evident seeing him today., How he did NOT FARE WELL with the aging process! She is STILL a RAVING BEAUTY! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

  36. h.... ....

    1.15 Nearly knocks the blonde twerp over, look in his face 🤣

  37. O.... M....

    ABBA? Phenomenal manifestation of synergy.

  38. D.... R....

    1976 interview, TV Special in Sweden. Abba-dabba-doo.
    Frida interview. She apparently was known to be energetic on stage. So the journalist ask her about her stage persona.

    Q: You seem too lead two separate lives. You're one person on stage, and your another when we're sitting here.

    Frida: It's one thing to be one stage, doing something that you master -- which I feel that I do now. That's tremendously wonderful. There's nothing like it. You let your hair down, and you can be whatever you want to be -- "Here I am, and now I'm going to show you". Know what I mean?
    You put your heart and soul into it. It's fantastic to give it all at that moment. And since you love it so much, you give 100%.

    Q: You give it 100%?
    Frida: 100%. There's no turning back.
    Q: You love giving it 100% on stage?
    Frida: Yes, absolutely.

    - at 13. First singing job, Evald Eki Orchestra

    "It was hard to believe that such a young person could sing so well. She was easy to rehearse with and she never was shy on stage. The only thing I taught her was to sing out." - Evald Eki

  39. S.... P....

    Agnetha c0uIdn´t d0 this, Frida is fire

    S.... P....

    Agnetha is amazing. She just had stage fright

  40. P.... ....

    Where is Aghnetta?

    P.... ....

    She was on her tea-break.

  41. W.... D....

    Frida has the most beautiful face and perfect legs, throw in the talent and she is unstoppable.

  42. D.... v....

    Amazing

  43. �.... �....

    FRIDA SUA GOSTOSAA TE AMO💖💫

  44. c.... e....

    First time i have seen this performance. Brilliant !!!! So much fun.
    Such a memorable time in life.

  45. M.... ....

    ABB - rare situation. I love it.

  46. b.... g....

    She is just one of the beautiful women in the world but miles ahead when you throw in her talent and stage presence!

  47. R.... N....

    t is no longer pop music .. Bjorn created an atmosphere of a completely different style. a magnificent voice. I think the Abba did not use all its possibilities. it could be a real universal rock and pop music that is proven nowadays although their melodies and voices are in themselves all-purpose

    Tour 1977
    Australia
    "In total there was an audience of about 150,000 people with many more listening from outside the outdoor venues. Ticket costs were A$ 9-12. Costs for the tour were about A$ 700,000. In Europe Frida wore satin slacks for all concerts. For the Australian leg costume designer Owe Sandström made a short version as requested by Frida and they apparently brought both versions to Australia, but it seems Frida only wore the shorts there."

  48. �.... �....

    дерьмо ебаное.

  49. P.... T....

    ABBA. The Swedish band that Australia made world famous! Any wonder we love IKEA so bloody much!!

  50. O.... K....

    So erm, how much coke had they been doing just before this one?

  51. M.... D....

    Medre mía frida que belleza de canción que poderío genial

  52. l.... ,....

    Where's Agnetha? She can stand in place and be more entertaining than Frida strutting around.

    l.... ,....

    lertyuis , idiot

    l.... ,....

    hahahahhaa y0u d0n´t kn0w what is music!

    l.... ,....

    Lertyuis you are talking rubbish

    l.... ,....

    Besides, Frida is flirting with her husband

  53. o.... ....

    I love ABBA. Frida is the best!

  54. y.... o....

    Wow, Anni-frid really rockin it here. She was full of energy on this performance.Maybe she had an extra cup of coffee back stage? Her voice is un-believable.

    y.... o....

    Or a dosage of magic powder 🙃

  55. J.... W....

    Lovely thank you for your talent Frida ! I know about your difficult history babe x

    J.... W....

    jamie w, cool pic for your profile. I used to use it often when i used to be on Facebook.from one animal lover to another.... God Bless.

  56. M.... ....

    frida at her best...

  57. C.... ....

    Frida has always been the humor and driving spirit of the group and I find her mentally as a giant.
    beyond the words she's a QUEEN

    C.... ....

    She was 31 then..and not yet married with Benny..only stilll engaged!!

    C.... ....

    @Hans Lodder but still had 2 children from her first husband

  58. J.... Y....

    love frida # 1

  59. p.... ....

    frid had stage presence

  60. G.... ....

    Frida set the stage on fire here.

  61. J.... G....

    I know Agnetha has the most pleasing voice, (not better), and is stunning but at least with Frida, you can see how much she loves performing. This is great.

    J.... G....

    sorry but she does not have the most pleasing voice, both ladies voices are pleasing but yes frida loved the stage very much.

    J.... G....

    Agnetha has anxiety of some short. That's probably why she isn't as energetic as Frida.

  62. a.... w....

    never seen this before but think its abbasulutly great

    a.... w....

    *absolutely

  63. E.... T....

    i think the ABBA overpowered the record sales of the BEATLES!!!!

    E.... T....

    No. According to Wikipedia, Beatles have (certified) at least 500 million copies. After the band break up, their solo careers were quite succesful (Paul McCartney alone sold 70 million more)

  64. f.... v....

    Frida looks slightly with Vivien Leigh actress who made the film gone whith the wind.

    f.... v....

    @Rosemary L. Frankly Rosemary, I dont give a damn.

  65. J.... A....

    A Frida é show de bola!

  66. b.... ....

    wow! what the hell just happened here?!

  67. M.... a....

    Björn my loveeee♡.♡

  68. f.... v....

    I like this duet Frida And Bjorn, she all creative loose not missed the Agnetha.

    f.... v....

    En zo is dat.

  69. C.... ....

    Best Best

  70. R.... D....

    Frida looks amazing...

    R.... D....

    look at the unstoppable Frida.... I love her :)

    R.... D....

    She is!

  71. R.... ....

    And where Agnetha? Without it, boring!

    R.... ....

    Probably she was changing her clother for the "The Girl with Golden Hair"

    R.... ....

    voldav6691 uhh...no

    R.... ....

    I don't think Agnetha could do what Frida did here. Frida was always the stronger on stage singer and perfomer.

    Frida started as a stage perfomer at age 10. She then sang jazz live. Singing jazz with your vocal totally exposed without cover. Frida is used to live performance.

    R.... ....

    Agnetha couldn't dance to save her life. She would have just ruined this performance.

  72. c.... ....

    I love it !!!

  73. E.... Z....

    Znany utwór w znakomitym wydaniu ABBA- dziękuję.

  74. B.... H....

    Go Frida - Yeah Baby!!!
