What you gonna tell your dad
It's like a wheel of fortune
What you gonna tell your dad
If this wheel lets you down
My love is my engine
And you might be fuel
Stop acting cool
Just bet you might win
I'm not too cool

We're gonna make your move

Don't push me
I don't want to, can't you see it
Hasten slowly
And don't count your chicks
Before they're hatched baby

What you gonna tell your dad
It's like a wheel of fortune
What you gonna tell your dad
If this wheel lets you down
My love is my engine
And you might be fuel
Stop acting cool
Just bet you might win
I'm not too cool

Hey you
We're gonna make your move
It tastes like steel
Like a stab from a knife

Ooh what you gonna tell your daddy
Ooh whoa whoa
What you gonna tell your daddy
Ooh whup
Say what you gonna tell your daddy
Mmm oh what you gonna tell your daddy
Ooh what you gonna tell your daddy
I'm in love with another fool

I'm in love with you, I like your style
I want you, I'm in love
I'm in love with you, I like your style
I want you, I'm in love

What you gonna tell your dad
It's like a wheel of fortune
What you gonna tell your dad
If it lets you down yeah
What you gonna tell your dad
It's like a wheel of fortune
What you gonna tell your dad
If this wheel lets you down

My love is my engine
And you might be fuel
Stop acting cool
Just bet you might win
I'm not too cool
I'm in love with another fool

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm in love with another fooooool
Tell tell tell ya, bad
Ooh I'm in love with you, I like your style
I want you I'm in love

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.
