The band was originally called "Blåblus" (Swedish for "blue denim shirt") and featured vocalist Björn Skifs of the band Slam Creepers singing the lead vocals. The band got their international break-through in 1974 with their cover of the 1969 B. J. Thomas ballad "Hooked on a Feeling" as adapted by British pop eccentric Jonathan King. Their "Hooked on a Feeling" was a commercial juggernaut, shooting all the way to the number one spot in the U.S. Hot 100 chart and gaining serious airplay worldwide.
The group additionally had a U.S. top 10 hit with "Never My Love", a cover of pop band The Association's tune. Also of note, the group recorded a 1975 medley that combined Tommy James and the Shondells' "I'm Alive" and Deep Purple's "Hush", which played better in Scandinavia than anywhere else and brought them to a bombastic arena rock sound more aggressive than their general style. Over the years, Björn Skifs has had a moderately successful solo career in Europe. "Hooked on a Feeling" has experienced many surges of popularity, happening more recently in 2014 as part of its inclusion in the film 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.

The correct lyrics:
So you had to go
Go to where a brighter life was shining on you
So I had to know
How could I resist, baby?
What else could I do?
What you didn′t know
Loneliness the price that you pay
Pay for this game
But you left me cold
Even though you knew
I'd be burning my wings in the flame
I′m sorry
I'm sorry too
We left this thing between me and you
Don't worry
Don′t be afraid
I′ll take the train out of the city, plane overseas
I was crazy to set you free
I'm gonna get back, straight back to you
Jump in my car, it′s time to leave
Now we know that the grass isn't greener
Gonna get back, straight back to you
What I need to know
Are you ready to forget
And really give it a try?
Well, where else to go?
Can′t take the loneliness
And I can't stand no wasting of time
I′m sorry
I'm sorry too
We left this thing between me and you
Don't worry
Don′t be afraid
I′ll take the train out of the city, plane overseas
I was crazy to set you free
I'm gonna get back, straight back to you
Jump in my car, it′s time to leave
Now we know that the grass isn't greener
Gonna get back, straight back to you
Gonna get back, straight back to you
