Letra Man in the middle de 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 a fat cigar?
He just left his lunch
with a belly full of lobster and caviar
he can choose the 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
