1.The Look

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

1-2-3-4 walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop,
she's got the look.

Heavenly bound
cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around,
kissing is a colour.
Her loving is a wild dog,
She's got the look.

She's got the look.
She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do, I'll do for you and I go:
la la la la la
she's got the look.

Fire in the ice
naked to the t-bone
is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull,
she's got the look.

Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer
she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
kissing is the wet sand,
she's got the look.

And she goes: na na na na na na na na.


2.Dressed For Success

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Tried to make it little by little,
tried to make it bit by bit on my own.
Quit the job, the grey believers,
another town where I get close to the bone.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh
whatcha gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go...

I'm gonna get dressed for success
shaping me up for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
shaping it up for your love yea yea yea.

I'm not afraid, a trembling flower,
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
and in the dark things happen faster.
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh
whatcha gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go...

I'm gonna get dressed for success,
hitting a spot for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
shaping it up for your love.

Look sharp!


3.Dangerous

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

You pack your bag.
You take control.
You're moving into my heart
and into my soul.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I won't be walking on thin
ice to get through the night.

Hey, where's your work?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous.

You turn around,
so hot and dry.
You're hiding under a halo,
your mouth is alive.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I'm not attracted to go-go deeper tonight.

Hey, what's your word?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight...


4.Listen To Your Heart

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle/M.P.Persson

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.

And there are voices that want to be heard.
So much to mention but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic, the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.


5.It Must Have Been Love

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,
there's air of silence in the bedroom
and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been love but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.

From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out.
Make-believing we're together that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your
palm.
And it's a hard winters day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It's all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.


6.Joyride

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

I hit the road out of nowhere,
I had to jump in my car
and be a rider in a love game,
following the stars.
Don't need no book of wisdom,
I get no money talk at all.
She has a train going downtown,
she's got a club on the moon
and she's telling all her secrets
in a wonderful balloon.
Oh, she's the heart of the funfair,
she's got me whistling her private tune.

And it all begins where it ends
and she's all mine, my magic friend.

She says: Hello, you fool I love you.
C'mon join the joyride.
Join the joyride.

She's a flower, I can paint her.
She's a child of the sun.
We're part of this together,
could never turn around and run.
Don't need no fortune teller
to know where my lucky love belongs, oh no

Cos it all begins where it ends
and we're all magic friends.

She says: Hello, you fool I love you.
C'mon join the joyride.
Join the joynride.

Be a joyrider.

I take you on a skyride,
a feeling like you're spellbound.
the sunshine is a lady,
who ROX you like a baby.


7.Fading Like A Flower(Every Time You Leave)

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
to find a heart that's made of stone.
I will try, I just need a little time
to get your face right out of my mind,
to see the world through different eyes.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower.

Tell me why, when I scream there's no reply,
when I reach out there's nothing to find,
when I sleep I break down and cry.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower.

Fading like a rose, fading like a rose,
beaten by the storm, talking to myself,
getting washed by the rain,
it's such a cold cold town.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower.


8.The Big L.

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

She's the top, she's got the world on a string.
She makes me boogie, makes me do anything yea yea.
Hey now, touch the sky,
you've got a certain kind of look in your eyes.
Well, she's a miracle, she's all that I need
like the water and the air that I breathe yea yea.
Hey now, reach the sky,
there's a certain kind of look in your smile.
And I know what love can do,
yes I know what hearts can do.

The big love is taking the wheel,
the big love goes head over heels,
the big lust, bring it into a small world,
the bigger, the better.
Big love, waiting to catch the big one,
head over heels,
the big one, bring it into the small world.
I'm building the big big love,
I'm building the big big love.

It's kinda strange, a bit mysterious,
I got to take it oh so so serious.
Hey now, touch the sky,
you've got a certain kind of look in your eyes.
It used to be so hard, so lonely at night,
well, she's my baby and I'm feeling alright.
Hey now, move the sky,
there's a certain kind of look in that smile.
When I'm making love with her,
when I'm making love to her yea.

The big love is taking the wheel,
the big love goes head over heels,
the big lust, bring it into a small world,
the bigger, the better.
Big love, waiting to catch the big one,
head over heels,
the big one, bring it into the small world.
I'm building the big big love,
I'm building the big big love.

It has to be a big thing.
It's bringing me to my knees.
Has to be a big thing, big thing,
ya know what I'm saying...


9.Spending My Time

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

What's the time? Seems it's already morning.
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue.
The TV's on but the only thing showing is a picture of you.
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin.
I thank the Lord above that you're not here to see me in this
shape I'm in.

Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time.

I try to call but I don't know what to tell you.
I leave a kiss on your answering machine.
Oh help me please, is there someone who can make me wake up from
this dream?

Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you are missing me too.
I'm spending my time.
Spending my time, watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound of 'Tears of a Clown',
a prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time.

My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on,
time will make sure I get over you.
This silly game of love -
you play, you win only to lose.

Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time.

Spending my time, watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound of 'Tears of a Clown',
a prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time.
I'm spending my time.
