man in the middle

bir abba şarkısı.

albüm:abba

did you see that man
in the limousine
with the pretty blonde
he is fifty and the girl's only seventeen
but she doesn't care
and she never will
if he's ninety five
she don't give a damn just as long as he pays the bill

did you see that man
with the fat cigar
he just left his lunch
with a belly full of lobster and caviar
he can choose a wine
from a vintage year
he will drink champagne
in his limousine when the rest of us drink a beer

cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle
just like a spider in a cobweb
hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss
you double cross
cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
he's never bothered by his conscience
deals with the devil, cause he wants to be
man in the middle, the middle, the middle, in the middle

but you see, that man
made a big mistake
even though he's got
all his servants and a mansion beside a lake
and the money too
all that he can spend
he can buy the most, nearly anything
but he can't buy an honest friend

cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle
just like a spider in a cobweb
hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss
you double cross
cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
he's never bothered by his conscience
deals with the devil, cause he wants to be
man in the middle, the middle, the middle, in the middle
