Clout - The best of me 1980 I needed a reason To climb out of my shell. I needed a reason To care at all 'bout myself. Then you walked into my sight And you opened up my life. And you made the best of me So easily And I couldn't love you better baby You made the best of me Darlin' the best that I could be You made the best of me. I waited a lifetime To try livin' it out. I needed a lifeline To know what life was about. And you made me realize And you touched me with your eyes. And you made the best of me So easily And I couldn't love you better baby You made the best of me Darlin' the best that I could be You made the best of me. You made the best of me Oh baby you made the best of me best of me. (Instrumental) And you made the best of me So easily And I couldn't love you better baby You made the best of me Darlin' the best that I could be You made the best of me. And you made the best of me So easily And I couldn't love you better baby You made the best of me

"Knowing Me, Knowing You" is a hit single recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA. The song was written by Stig Anderson, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with the lead vocal sung by Anni-Frid Lyngstad. During recording sessions it had the working titles of "Ring It In" and "Number One, Number One". "Knowing Me, Knowing You" features on the group's album Arrival, and the ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits compilation. The song has remained popular in the years since it was released, and became the catchphrase of Alan Partridge, Steve Coogan's comic creation from the show of the same name. "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is also featured in the Mamma Mia! musical. "Knowing Me, Knowing You" was recorded in 1976 at the Metronome studio in Stockholm, and released in February 1977, becoming one of the group's most successful singles. The B-side was "Happy Hawaii," an arrangement of another ABBA song, "Why Did It Have to Be Me", but with a different lead vocalist and lyrics. "Knowing Me, Knowing You" was one of the first ABBA songs to deal with the breakup of a relationship, though with an upbeat quality to the music. It predates the divorces of the ABBA members, as well as further breakup songs to come: "The Winner Takes It All", "One of Us" and "When All Is Said And Done". Group member Benny Andersson named "Knowing Me, Knowing You" as one of ABBA's best recordings in a 2004 interview, along with "Dancing Queen", "The Winner Takes It All" and "When I Kissed the Teacher". "Knowing Me, Knowing You" was yet another smash hit on the charts worldwide, hitting No.1 in the UK, Ireland, West Germany, South Africa and Mexico, and reaching the Top 3 in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland and the Netherlands. It was also a Top 10 hit in Norway, New Zealand, Australia and France. In the United States, "Knowing Me, Knowing You" became ABBA's sixth Top 20 single, peaking at No.14.
