[Chorus]
I wanna kiss you
Just not ordinary miss you
It's an ordinary day
I would like to do the same tomorrow
I wanna kiss you
Just not ordinary miss you
But you're sleeping on my arm
I'm longing to wake you up

[Verse 1]
I want it simple
I have travelled around the world
I can never see myself in the rain
Walking out
Now it's you and me
And we take it from here and now
Twosome wild and free

[Chorus]
I wanna kiss you
Just not ordinary miss you
It's an ordinary day
I would like to do the same tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Would I lie, would I lie
To something so obvious to myself
I'm wanting you day and night
I see your smile
Whe you're waking up here beside me
And your hair is a mess
And I can't resist you
It's heaven on earth
How will I do
To protect our little world
Easy life bye bye
It's heaven on earth

[Chorus]
I wanna kiss you
Just not ordinary miss you
It's an ordinary day
It's an ordinary daaaaaay (Come, come, come to me)

[Bridge]
Come, come, come to me (ordinary day)
Come, come, come to me
Come, come, come to me
Oh when you come to me
I can never see myself in the rain
Walking out (oh, when you come to me)
Twosome wild and free

[Chorus]
I wanna kiss you
Just not ordinary miss you
It's an ordinary day
I would like to do the same tomorrow

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.
