Lyrics to "One Of Us" song by ABBA: They passed me by, all of those great romances You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances . .Staring at the ceiling Wishing she was somewhere else instead 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 Never left at all. Staring at the ceiling Wishing she was somewhere else instead One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call.
