Opportunity Nox
(words and music by Per Gessle)
Well I liked you,
I couldn't think of anything but you
For a week I was in love with your hair-do
I couldn't chew the smart things I used to
I knew I was way over the moon
When I met you, when I met you
I didn't know what to do
When I saw you, when I saw you
You said :
O-o-o-ooh I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox
I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on
I'm sleeping and I'm dreaming so solo
I saw you in the crowd in the front row
You couldn't get it right at the disco
You're dancing so much better in slo-mo
When I met you, when I met you
I didn't know what to do
When I saw you, yea when I saw you
I said :
O-o-o-ooh I'm living in a box but i'm out when opportunity nox 
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox
I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on

Little Miss Sorrow
(words and music by Per Gessle)
She had those magic eyes you could see from miles around
She wore her summer dresses bright, quite like the sky
She always came in colours, all smiles and daffodils
She let her hair down in the breeze
But every little thing had changed today
Little Miss Sorrow
Every little thing turned pale then faded
Little Miss Sorrow
The sunlight doesn't show
All of the colours go out through the window
She used to go out dancing, cool silver fingernails
I used to watch her from the bar, following her car
She always came in colours, she always kept control
She painted yesterday in gold
But every little thing turned grey today
Little Miss Sorrow
Every little thing turned pale then faded
Little Miss Sorrow
The sunlight doesn't show
All the colours go, even the rainbow
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm just a local boy
She was my Little Miss Joy
I want to call her name, my life won't be the same
Dear God
Every little thing had changed today
Little Miss Sorrow
Every little thing turned pale and faded
Little Miss Sorrow
Yes, every little thing turned pale and faded
Little Miss Sorrow
The weak replaced the strong, the bird forgot the song
What's going on ?
What's going on ?
Tell Me, what's going on ?

Stupid
(words and music by Per Gessle)
Everything you do you do so right
The clothes you buy are awfully nice
You wear your image bullet-proof
Your stocks are always thru the roof
You make me feel so stupid
Make me feel stupid
And you grew up, made in the sun
They all loved you from Day 1
You always remembered everyone?s name
You always won the guessin? games, ooh yeah
You made me feel so stupid
Made me feel stupid
And I?m not gonna take it anymore
Not gonna take it anymore
You always pick the perfect wine
Your money is sho nuff greener than mine
Your wit pours out when you open your mouth
My hometown is smaller than your house
You make me feel so stupid, make me feel stupid
And I'm not gonna take it anymore
Not gonna take it anymore
Makin' love to you
(words and music by Per Gessle)
If there was a night to say, something to cherish on a rainy day
If I close my eyes and go blind,
I'm in the middle of the rush, rush
Makin' love to you is all I ever wanted to do
And I leave the world behind
I laugh at all the things I've done for you
If there was a dream to say
I'm in the middle of the rush, rush
Makin' love to you is all I ever wanted to do
Makin' love, makin' love to you
Makin' love, makin' love to you
Your love is so sweet to recall, the greatest of them all
I'm easy on my knees for you
Makin' love to you
I couldn't love you anymore than I do
God knows it's all I ever wanted to do
Makin' love to you is all I wanna do
It's all I wanted to do
It's all I ever wanted to do
Better off on her own
(words and music by Per Gessle)
My girl came home to me just the other day acting okay
I was reading alone in my favourite room
The TV was on
May I be excused for not telling the truth?
'Cause she's gone
She said she's better off on her own
She turned her head much better off on her own
My girl knocked on the door
To the place I usually refer to as home
I died, surely some tide
Should have dimmed my eyes, small and surprised
And God closed every gate
The moon fell into the lake
Boy, she's gone
Her drift
She's better off on her own
She closed and she left, much better off on her own
Sitting naked by the window sill
Watching cars upon the hill
Am I sleeping?
I was dreaming
For just a moment time stood still
Hey!
Better off on her own, better off on her own
Now she's gone, she said
She's better off on her own
She turned her head
Much better off on her own
She's gone, she sighed
She's better off on her own
The tears I cried
Much better off on her own
My girl came home to me just the other day...
Bla bla bla bla bla (You broke my heart)
(words and music by Per Gessle)
You promised me it would last forever
You said there's no way it could die
Everything you ever told me was a bunch of lies
Hey hey mam, I'm back on the outside
You know that's not where I belong, no
Every truth, everything I believed in has turned out wrong
It's all bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart so many times
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart
It's so clear when you scratch on the surface
Going deeper deeper down
All I wanted was to make you happy
But baby, what's that sound?
Well, baby, whats that sound?
It's all bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart so many times
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart, you broke my heart
You broke my heart
All you ever cared for was to make you stronger
No one I have known has looked so weak
Na na, na na
It's all bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart so many times
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart so many times
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart X4
You broke my heart so many times
