The ABBA story began in June 1966 when Björn Ulvaeus (born 1945) met Benny Andersson (born 1946) for the first time. Björn was a member of the Hootenanny Singers, a very popular folk music group, while Benny played keyboards in Sweden’s biggest pop group of the 1960s, The Hep Stars. The pair wrote their first song together later that year, and by the end of the decade they had established a regular partnership as composers. By that time, Benny had left The Hep Stars, while the Hootenanny Singers only existed in the recording studio. The Hootenanny Singers released their records on the Polar Music record label, owned by Stig Anderson (1931–1997), who was to become ABBA’s manager.

Just Like That! Lyrics
ABBA
(B Andersson / B Ulvaeus)
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 he did embarass me
I hung on to his every smile
Marvelled 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
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'd only stopped a while 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 remourse
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'd only stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
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'd only stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
Just Like That!
