About She's My Kind of Girl

"She's My Kind of Girl" is a song written and performed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, who were later famous as members of ABBA. Written for the Swedish movie Inga II: The Seduction Of Inga, the song was recorded in November/December 1969, most likely at Europa Film Studios. The song was originally released in March 1970 as the first Björn and Benny single. Two years later it was released in Japan, hitting #1 and selling half a million copies. Because of that Benny and Björn were invited to perform in the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo, November 1972 and they brought Frida and Agnetha with them. The song was subsequently put on the B-side of the Swedish issue of ABBA's "Ring Ring" (English Version) single, and on the Ring Ring album in some other countries (in spite of it having been recorded before ABBA was formed and featuring no contribution from ABBA's other members, Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad). The song is also unusual in that it is the only track in the entire catalogue that appears in fake stereo. To date, there is no known mono-only version.

Look at her face, it's a wonderful face 
And it means something special to me 
Look at the way that she smiles when she sees me 
How lucky can one fellow be 

She's just my kind of girl, she makes me feel fine 
Who could ever believe that she could be mine 
She's just my kind of girl, without her I'm blue 
And if she ever leaves me what could I do, what could I do 

And when we go for a walk in the park 
Then she holds me and squeezes my hand 
We'll go on walking for hours and talking 
About all the things that we plan 

She's just my kind of girl, she makes me feel fine 
Who could ever believe that she would be mine 
She's just my kind of girl, without her I'm blue 
And if she ever leaves me what could I do, what could I do
