Opportunity Nox
(words & music: Per Gessle)
Published by HipHappy
Well, I like you
I couldn't think of anything but you
For a week I was in love with your hairdo
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:
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but i'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m living in a box but I’m out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 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 in 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,
when I saw you
you said:
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but i'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m living in a box but I’m out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I’m dying in a box but I’m out when opportunity rox on
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.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but i'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I’m living in a box but I’m out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’m dying in a box but I’m out when opportunity ROX

Little Miss Sorrow
(words & music: Per Gessle)
Published by HipHappy
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 colors
all smiles and daffodils
she let her hair down in the breeze
but every little thing has changed today
little miss sorrow
Every little thing turned pale and fading
little miss sorrow
The sunlight doesn't show
all the colors go
out the 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 colors
she always kept control
She painted yesterday in gold
but every little thing turned grey
little miss sorrow
every little thing turned pale
and fading
little miss sorrow
The sunlight doesn't show
all the colors go
even the rainbow
Allow me to introduce myself
I am 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 has changed
little miss sorrow
every little thing turned pale
and fading
little miss sorrow
every little thing turned grey
today
The weak replace the strong
the bird forgot the song
what's going on?
what's going on?
what's going on?

Stupid
(words & music: Per Gessle)
Published by Jimmy Fun Music
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 & music: Per Gessle)
Published by HipHappy
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 a 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
All I ever wanted to do

Better Off On Her Own
(words: Per Gessle music: Per Gessle & Mats M.P. Persson)
Published by HipHappy
My girl came home to me
just the other day, acting OK
I was reading alone
in my favourite room, the TV was on
May I be excused
for not telling the truth
'Cos 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, shoelace untied
she looked in my eyes, small and surprised
And God closed every gaze
the moon fell into the lake
Boy, she's gone, a drift
She's better off on her own
She closed, then she left
much better off on her own
Sitting naked by the windowsill
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, *better of on her own* she said
*she's better of on her own* she's better of on her own
She turned *better of on her own* her head
*she's better of on her own* much better off on her own
She's gone, *better of on her own* she sighed
*she's better of on her own* she's better of on her own
The tears *better of on her own* I cried
*she's better of on her own* 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 & music: Per Gessle)
Published by HipHappy
You promised me it will last forever.
You said there is no way you could die.
Everything you ever told me was a bunch of lies.
Hey mama back on the outside.
You know that's not where I belong. No.
Every truth, everything I believed in has turned out wrong.
Refrain
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?
But baby what's that sound? Ehhhh
Refrain
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´ve broke my heart.
You´ve broke my heart.
All you ever cared for was to make you stronger.
No one I have known has looked so weak.
Oh
You never know.
Refrain
It's so 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.
You broke my heart.
You broke my heart.
You broke my heart.
You broke my heart so many times.
