ABBA - I Am Just A Girl - Feb 10, 2010

Another Valentine's on my own - am a veteran of spending it alone by now and watching lovey dovey couples go by all flushed with romance. And the flowers, dinners and sweet little things in even tinier boxes exchanged. I smile to myself remembering past Valentine's when I was younger and exchanging home made cards with friends just to let them know they were special to me.

I also remember Valentine's with Jacob who didn't believe in Valentine's apparently. Also remember the one Valentine shared with Jaan and it was not really much different from any other day. Like I said the hopeless romantic in me would someday like to have someone take my breath away with the simplest of gestures but straight from his heart - that would be my perfect Valentine.

My sister would know what I mean when I say "Kevin Kumar' - I'd thought I'd met him but he turned out to be a dud and prince who turned into a toad ...

This is one of my favourite ABBA songs and I think the words sorta tell you how I view myself and how in the past I felt when well my heart was stolen - although at that time I'd not heard this song yet. But I think it feels sorta apt as I grow older and someday I will have some whisper 'I love you' and then I will know I was meant to be his girl.

Till then ... well we all live with the hope that there is someone out there for us, he's just not found me yet as Micheal Buble says :) Haven't Met You Yet.

Please enjoy ABBA's I Am Just A Girl ....

I am just a girl, one among the others, nothing much to say

Plain and simple girl, not a special type in any way

Just one look, and you will surely see

That the true "Miss Nobody" is me

It's an evil world that has only made me a girl

I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to meet

Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street

But today, I can't believe it's true

When you smiled and whispered "I love you"

Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

It's a funny feeling when you get to love someone

And thinking that he'll never look your way

But then he says he loves you, and life has just begun

It's so much more than any words can say

I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to meet

Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street

But today, I can't believe it's true

When you smiled and whispered "I love you"

Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

La la la la la, la la la la la-la, la la la la laaa

La la la la la, la la la la la-la, la la laaa

But today, I can't believe it's true

When you smiled and whispered "I love you"

Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl
