Until that day My life had been a river Following the same, pre-destinated 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 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 awhile 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 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. 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 awhile 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 only stopped awhile for a chat; But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned

Жалко, что у них не было официального релиза этой песни. Она классная.

THANK YOU for snagging this gem. I know Benny's got his reasons, but it's a crime not to publish this song. It's one of the most ABBA-like songs I've heard: catchy, fun, clever (omigosh, the lyrics "throwing dust in my eyes" is verbal brilliance). How can we send a mass petition / request to Benny to release it as a gift to adoring fans if nothing else?

I Love The Song..What A Masterpiece ..This Is Pure Art ABBA OUR SWEDISH QUEENS AND KINGS FOREVER

ABBA, meine Lieblingsgruppe! Super schöne Musik. Ich liebe sie! ❤🎵🫶💐❤🎵🫶💐❤🎵💐🫶

If it was released in Australia, it would be gold.

Come on ,2023 and agnetha still looks and sounds amazing so does anifrida. If the music was crap we wouldn't be listening to it. ABBA are by far the best pop band of all time. Benny and Bjorn are geniuses when it comes to writing songs. Would love to meet them but sadly that won't happen so sending love from London xxxx

The combination of the ladies' voices is absolutely incredible, so this should have updated to what every ABBA's fan waits for...

Jaka piękna jest ta piosenka.

Ĺove this song it should have released long ago it is beautiful

one of five of my all time favourites from my all time favourite group. we live in hope that they will one day relook at this song and release it. maybe their next album? {fingers crossed, lol}. thank you for posting this, for me, most unusual version. I LOVE IT. love and peace to you and all, xxxxxxx

The song is beautiful and melodic, amazingly mixed with crystal harmonies. But it feels so haunting, with the distinct ABBA sound yet eerily foreign. The final records of ABBA in their post-the Visitors era (namely "the Day before you came", "Under Attack", "I am the City" and "You owe me one") are an amazing evolution of the visitors album and a completely new era for ABBA. I sometimes wonder what we would have seen from a 1982-3 'final' album. Maybe more of the outtakes if they had managed to finish them (the Hamlets for example, or burning my bridges, or even Under my sun and just a notion from earlier sessions. Dream world may have even worked for that album).

Should be remastered and released as would be an international hit.

I don’t understand why they finished the song to their satisfaction and were going to release it on the TYFTM boxset but changed their minds at the last minute. The sax version we heard a part of on Undeleted is beautiful. I hope the boys change their mind one day and allow an official release

Amazing song, never heard before. A more laid-back sound and singing. Less ABBA-ish. Suits them better. I also heard the sax version, but this is way better. Thx for uploading!! 🙏

Still sounds good tho just love abba blimming good musicians 😊

It's released by another swedish group called Gemini. Well known as the siblings Karin and Anders Glenmark. Absolutely worth listen to. And the composers are still Bjoern and Benny.

I love you all very much deeply I am I from the USA of North Carolina I'd love to hear from you all you are a wonderful group thank you for your immunity I have less to your music the other day I turn it up loud on my stereo couldn't hear myself talk it was so good love to hear from you guys❤❤❤❤❤😊

ABBA JUST LIKE THAT Release as New single and New extended version good news for funs around the world.

Wonderful song ❤❤❤❤

MY DEAR VOCALIST AGNETНА FALTSKOG, TНANKS A LOT FOR a SONG!!!

Lindísimos,esa voz la reconozco un montón,es una delicia a mis oídos y mi alma, Viva Abba, saludos

Enjoying this as much as possible before Univer$al takes it down.

Excellent song, this is the second demo. The third and final version is IMO the best. Uptempo and a saxophone from Baker Street!

Waiting patiently for the day Benny and Bjorn release this song. I have read that Benny never liked the song. It was thrown together with parts from other songs that were never completed. Bjorn agrees. It was recorded several ways but they never thought it was good enough to be released. As talented as Benny and Bjorn are I disagree. I think its a much better song then 'Just A Notion' which was reworked and released on Voyage. I think it would be a huge hit if 'Just Like That' was released. Especially the saxophone version. The song has so many strong points. Amazing vocals and a brilliant chorus. Definitely has that distinctive Abba sound. Fingers crossed they release it someday.

It was never thrown together from parts of other songs. In fact, it was the reverse. "Under Attack" borrowed heavily from "Rubber Ball Man" and the guitar riff from "Just Like That".

This song is amazing with Beautiful melody and lyrics. The harmonizing of Agnetha and Anni-Frid are awesome and with the voices of Angels. I can't believe this gem was never finished and released as a single. Agnetha likes the song and said she would like to finish and release it.❤

❤ 감사합니다

Just entertaing enough to listen to it.

While I acknowledge that this is a fine pop song which would probably do well if released, I would be more interested in Benny doing a studio quality piano instrumental of When The Waves Roll Out To Sea - on which the verse of JLT is based. The demo version of that is very rough, but the melody is one of the most beautiful that he has ever written imho.

Too bad the percussion is muted in this one, and that thunkity punchy bass in the final version is absent. I like the NA NA NAs from this version though, and I think the saxophone in the final version sounds kinda messy. I also like how audible that tropicalesque guitar that appears throughout this version. Oh to be a producer with all the mixes and masters and separate tracks for this song... I'd make my own version. Without the muddled audio quality. ABBA's biggest mistake was leaving this unreleased. Sure, there's the 1994 boxset that contains snippets of the song's chorus, but the gorgeous verses would've gone forever unheard if someone hadn't stole tapes from Bjorn or Benny's car and distributed them underground.

Bella canzone interpretata divinamente come sempre...Due voci favolose insieme dimostrano la loro capacità........😊

Very recently Benny made it clear that Just Like That will never be released. He said it has a good chorus, but the rest is not up to standard.
