"One Man, One Woman" is a song by ABBA, released on their 1977 album ABBA: The Album. Running at 4:25, it is the third track after "Eagle" and "Take a Chance on Me".
The song is about a couple (made up of the titular "man" and "woman") trying to save their marriage.
The instruments used in the song are piano, synths, and strings. The piano is used to add a colourful countermelody to the vocal pauses in the chorus, a similar technique to the "descending double-octave riff" used in Dancing Queen. The synth is used in a "chord-per-bar" fashion throughout the verses, and strings take over in the chorus.
Abba: Let The Music Speak describes the song as "one of ABBA's most introspective portraits of the fragility of human relationships", adding that it is engulfed by a "genuinely fatalistic quality". It says that Frida's lead vocal is filled with "urgency and inner suffering...insecurity and self-doubt", filling the song with "unsettling realism". Both her performance and the musical progressions of the song illustrate an unsureness and lack of faith.
ABBA: The Album is the fifth studio album by the Swedish pop group ABBA. It was released in Scandinavia on 12 December 1977 through Polar Music, but due to the massive pre-orders the UK pressing plants were not able to press sufficient copies before Christmas 1977 and so it was not released in the UK until January 1978. The album was released in conjunction with ABBA: The Movie, with several of the songs featured in the film.
The album contained two UK number-one singles, "Take a Chance on Me" and "The Name of the Game", as well as European hits "Eagle" and "Thank You for the Music".
The album includes three songs from ABBA's 1977 tour mini-musical The Girl with the Golden Hair. These songs are "Thank You for the Music", "I Wonder (Departure)" and "I'm a Marionette". Altogether the album contained just nine songs—the least of any ABBA album, but were longer in length than previous albums (opening track "Eagle" runs to nearly six minutes).
ABBA: The Album reached No. 1 in many territories. In the UK it debuted at the top and remained there for seven weeks, ending up as the third biggest selling album of the year (behind the movie soundtrack LPs of Saturday Night Fever and Grease). In the US it became their highest charting album, where during 1978 ABBA undertook a big promotional campaign. Due to the Cold War, Western music was actively discouraged throughout Eastern Europe at the time. Despite this, ABBA: The Album sold an unprecedented one million copies in Poland in 1977, exhausting the country's entire allocation of foreign currency. In Russia, only 200,000 copies were permitted to be pressed; however, demand within the USSR indicated they could have sold 40 million copies.

LYRICS: No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table Though I would have liked to begin So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable You leave and slam the door Like you've done many times before And I cry and I feel so helpless One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me, to the end Outside I can see the sun through the open window Inside everything feels so cold What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go?

A new music video for a change. We decided to make a music video for our cover version of ABBA's One Man, One Woman. All I know is that I'm so glad that I am a man and not a woman...

Find my way, in the five o'clock rush hour, As daylight, slowly leaves the sky. I open the door, to that little room, That we call home.
Loving arms, are there, to greet me, Tender lips are there, to meet me. At the end of the day, You know it's, always been that way.
Then I find my way, through the early morning traffic, But someone else, is heavy, heavy, on my mind. Open the door to our favorite little coffee shop, (Ohh, ya'll) the girl is right on time. (Now, come one.)
Loving arms, are there, to greet me, Tender lips are there, always there to meet me. And that's how I start my day, It's just too bad it doesn't end that way.
(One woman's making my home) One women's making my home, (But the other woman's making me wrong) The other girl, is making me do wrong. I didn't mean, let it get that strong, no baby. I got to decide, where I belong.
