Under Attack

Under Attack is the last widely released single, published in 1981, by ABBA. It contains fragments of Under My Sun and other recycled songs. It is widely believed that the song references the now common problem of stalking.

Lyrics
Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go.

My resistance running low,

And every day the hold is getting tighter - and it troubles me so.

I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me,

I don't have a strategy.

It's just like taking candy from a baby, and I think I must be...

---

Chorus:

Under attack, I'm being taken.

About to crack, defences breaking.

Won't somebody please have a heart?

Come and rescue me now, 'cause I'm falling apart...

Under attack, I'm taking cover.

He's on my track, my chasing lover.

Thinking nothing can stop him now,

Should I want to, I'm not sure I would know how.

---

Now this is getting crazy, I should tell him so.

Really let my anger show,

Persuade him that the answer to his questions is a definite no!

Guess I'm kind of flattered but I'm scared as well.

Something like a magic spell.

I hardly dare to think of what could happen, where I'd be if I fell!
