Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn Ulvaeus

THE AMERICAN:

So you got what you want

What a nasty ambition!

Set me up, pull me down

Then exploit my condition

I should have guessed, woman

That if pressed, woman

You're on nobody's side but your own

And you're behaving

Like a mere woman

It's so clear, woman --

It's your sex!

Once they start getting old and getting worried

They let fly, take it out

On the one who supports them --

That's you I'm talking about
