Annotationen

Es gibt drei Demo-Versionen dieses unveröffentlichten Abba-Tracks, diese langsame (Slow Version), die «Na-na-na-» und die ‹Saxophone Version». Benny Andersson und Björn Ulvaeus fanden den Track nicht genug gut und so wurde er nicht veröffentlicht. Die Bootleg Versionen entstammen einer Cassette, die dem Songwriter-Duo aus dem Auto gestohlen wurde.
Eine Melodielinie des Songs wurde für Under Attack verwendet, der letzten Single der Band. Auch ein Demo-Track aus Chess enthielt überarbeitete Teile daraus. Er hiess «When the Waves Roll Out to Sea». Schliesslich wurde «Just Like That» vom schwedischen Duo Gemini aufgenommen und veröffentlicht – siehe Just Like That

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Until that day My life had been a river following A safe, predestinated course Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly With uncompromising force My strongholds broke down all too easily I remember well How it did embarrass me I hung on to his every smile Marveled at his style [Chorus] 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 a while for a chat But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 a while for a chat But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned [Chorus] 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 As though he only stopped a while for a chat But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned Just like that
