[Chorus]
Hey darling
Have to tell 'bout the world
Have to tell you today
Believe me now
Believe me now

[Verse 1]
You'd better believe in angels
There's no other substitute
We all do that before we're going up in the sky
If your loving is in your money
Know they cannot hug you back
This is the sound of the world
I know, I say, I do, I say

[Chorus]
Hey darling
Have I told you 'bout the rest of the world
Hey darling
Why don't you see
You gonna twist and curl
Take a look around
Take a look around

[Verse 2]
You're going to be burned out
You must blame it on yourself
You're burning your candlse both ways
That I've learned from my past
Quench your thirst with memories
There's no point in being stressed
That is the thing I have learned
I've done, I've been, I've seen all that

[Chorus]
Hey darling
Have I told you 'bout the rest of the world
Hey darling
Why don't you see
You gonna twist and curl
Take a look around
Hey darling
Have I told you 'bout the rest of the world
Take a look around
Hey darling (ouuh, ooooooh)
Have I told you 'bout the rest of the world (Got to tell u ...)

[Bridge]
I'm never gonna change my mind
No, I'm never gonna change my mind
Believe me now
Believe me now

[Chorus]
Hey darling
Have I told you 'bout the rest of the world
Hey darling
Why don't you see
You gonna twist and curl (Got to tell u ...)
Hey darling
Hey darling (have to tell you today)
Hey darling (ah uh)
Hey darling (have to tell you ...)
Hey darling (believe me now)

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.
