Recorded from 1973 thru 1975
Released December 1st, 1975
Wriiten by Agnetha Faltskog
Lyrics by Bosse Carlgren
Produced by Agnetha Faltskog
Elva kvinnor i ett hus (Eleven Women In One House), released on December 1, 1975, was the last full-length solo album in the Swedish language by Swedish pop singer and ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog. The album was recorded in the same period as her bandmate Anni-Frid Lyngstad made her Swedish number one album Frida ensam - and both were recorded between sessions and a very busy promotion schedule for ABBA albums Waterloo and ABBA. Elva Kvinnor I Ett Hus was originally slated for release in 1973 but following Agnetha's pregnancy that year and later the unexpected success with ABBA it was postponed and not released until late 1975.
Agnetha composed all songs herself with lyrics by Swedish writer, journalist and lyricist Bosse Carlgren. The only exception was the Swedish version of the ABBA song "S.O.S." which was written by Benny Andersson, Stig Anderson and Agnetha's husband at the time, Björn Ulvaeus. Agnetha's record company Cupol insisted on including a Swedish version of an ABBA song to increase album sales.
Elva Kvinnor I Ett Hus was first released on CD in 2004 as part of the 1967-1979 - De Första Åren 6 CD boxed set.
The original album design was very different from what was eventually released. Fältskog and Carlgren originally planned to call the album "Tolv kvinnor i ett hus" (Twelve Women In A House) with each song on the album describing twelve different characters, all women, all leading very different lives, but all living in the same house. The package would have included a gatefold sleeve with artwork by Carlgren picturing the twelve fictitious women as well as several photos of Agnetha herself, but due to the success of ABBA the singer had less time to write and record her own songs.

Är du som han?
(Agnetha Fältskog / Bosse Carlgren)

Han och jag har levt tillsammans ganska många år
Du och jag, vi träffades hos Gun och Bengt igår,
Han är allt jag önskat mig
Du, ja, vad är du?

Det borde inte betyda det minsta för mig men ändå
Undrar jag, är du som han?
Hur känns det månntro när du kysser mig?
Är du som han, jag undrar hur känns dina händer?
Är du som han?
Min tanke för ständigt tillbaks till dig
Varför ska jag undra så
Om du är som han?

Han och jag har byggt nånting ihop och sånt är svårt
Du och jag har ingenting som vi kan kalla vårt,
Han och jag, vi kan varann, inga frågor kvar
Men du har fått mig att undra för du gav mig aldrig nåt svar!

Åh! Är du som han?
Jag tror dina ögon var varmare
Är du som han, vad händer i mig om du rör mig?
Är du som han?
En nyfikenhet i en villovärld
Du som kanske ändå vet,
Att du är som han.

Åh! Är du som han?
Jag tror dina ögon var varmare
Är du som han, vad händer i mig om du rör mig?
Är du som han?
En nyfikenhet i en villovärld
Du som kanske ändå vet,
Att du är som han, att du är som han,
Att du är som han, att du är som han...

"Are you like him? "
(Agnetha Faltskog / Bosse Carlgren)

He and I have lived together many years
You and I, we met at the Gun and Bengt yesterday
He is everything I liked
You, yes, what are you?

That should not mean the slightest to me yet
I wonder, are you like him?
Do you think, How does it feel when you kiss me?
Are you like him, I wonder how do you feel about your hands?
Are you like him?
My idea of constantly back to you
Why do I wonder so
If you are him?

He and I have built something together and that's difficult
You and I have nothing that we can call ours,
He and I, we know each other, no questions remain
But you have led me to wonder of you gave me something that never answers!

Oh! Are you like him?
I think your eyes was warmer
Are you like him, what happens to me if you touch me?
Are you like him?
A curiosity in a villovärld
You may still know,
That you are like him.

Oh! Are you like him?
I think your eyes was warmer
Are you like him, what happens to me if you touch me?
Are you like him?
A curiosity in a villovärld
You may still know,
That you are him, you are like him,
That you are him, you are like him ...
