[Verse 1]
Donnie's got a secret and you know it
He was yours, in the summertime, yeah
About ten years ago
He promised you to stay forever
Live with you
It's so bittersweet now
When you know what you lost

[Chorus]
Donnie was the boy you always wanted by your side
Donnie was the boy your girlfriends fell for one by one
Donnie was the boy you always wanted day and night
But Donnie had a girlfriend: tender, sexy, sweet and blonde

[Verse 2]
He's always on your mind
The season changes
Years went by
But that chapter of love stays unfinished for you
Keep on dancing through your new life
Maybe, make a move
Make him see you again
As the flower you are

[Chorus]
Donnie was the boy you always wanted by your side
Donnie was the boy your girlfriends fell for one by one
Donnie was the boy you always wanted day and night
But Donnie had a girlfriend: tender, sexy, sweet and blonde

[Verse 3]
In the summer time, yeah
In the summer time, life was easy
On the beach you had him long ago
In the summer time, yeah
In the summer time, life was easy
On the beach you had him long ago
Donnie was the boy you always wanted by your side...

Ace of Base

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
