Knowing Me, Knowing You

ABBA · The Essential Collection [2012]

No more carefree laughter

Silence ever after

Walking through an empty house

Tears in my eyes

This is where the story ends

This is goodbye



Knowing me, knowing you, aha

There is nothing we can do

Knowing me, knowing you, aha

We just have to face it, this time we're through

Breakin' up is never easy, I know, but I have to go

Knowing me, knowing you

It's the best I can do



Mem'ries, good days, bad days

They'll be with me always

In these old familiar rooms

Children would play

Now there's only emptiness

Nothing to say



Knowing me, knowing you, aha

There is nothing we can do

Knowing me, knowing you, aha

We just have to face it, this time we're through

Breakin' up is never easy, I know, but I have to go

Knowing me, knowing you

It's the best I can do



Knowing me, knowing you, aha

There is nothing we can do

Knowing me, knowing you, aha

We just have to face it, this time we're through

Breakin' up is never easy, I know, but I have to go

Knowing me, knowing you

It's the best I can do

Knowing Me, Knowing You
