He DecidesAce of Base

[Verse 1]
Can't you hear them whispering
Around you all the time
Can't you tell the difference between
Things when you're in love
I hear your voice is trembling
Every time when he's around
Your detached engagements
In the things I say means love, oh

[Chorus]
He decides whether you should smile
Whether you should cry
Whether you should be happy
He decides whether you should smile
Whether you should cry
Whether you should be sad

[Verse 2]
If he doesn't love you you're afraid that you can't go on
Living without loving never makes a person strong, no
If he really loves you let him show you that instead
I will be here with you 'cause I know that you're afraid of love

[Chorus]
He decides whether you should smile
Whether you should cry
Whether you should be happy
He decides whether you should smile
Whether you should cry
Whether you should be sad

[Bridge]
You'll never change my mind my friend, don't let that feeling go
This love might change your world around
In time you'll have to know, oh yeah

[Outro]
Whether you should go
Oh, yeah
He decides whether you should smile

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.
