Writes hits for other people and kept the best ones; this is what she kept

lyrics

(eleven times)

The dental nurse from Uppsala who drove eight hours once
And made bad soup and said nothing useful at all
Has bought eleven tickets over nineteen years
And I did not know until somebody at the box office said

Row nine, eleven times (eleven times)
She pays, eleven times
Full price, eleven times
Eleven times

Eleven times, eleven times, eleven times, eleven times
I have written four hundred songs and she has bought eleven nights
Eleven times, eleven times, eleven times, eleven times
And she has never once asked me for a single thing

I sent a guest list place to Malmo in October. She did not use it.
She bought a ticket in the same week for the seat behind it.
I asked her why. She said "because then it is mine."
(FULL PRODUCTION, BIGGEST)

Eleven times, eleven times, eleven times, eleven times
I have written four hundred songs and she has bought eleven nights
Eleven times, eleven times, eleven times, eleven times
And she has never once asked me for a single thing

(then it is mine...)
