Songwriter: Ulf Ekberg Jonas Berggren

Ohh, ahha
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uhhh, uuuh

With a education born in this nation
What do you want to do
Surfing in the cyber
Quit playing all your game
With a education born in this nation
What do you want to do
You're Sitting in front of the TV
Or you´ll dance the night away

Well I'm giving it up for you
What more can I do
Giving it up for a helping hand
Well I'm giving it up for you
What more can I do (can I do)
Young man you're too good to be true

And you are such a wild young man
Can't keep away from him
Things are always so out of control
Instruct me, I'm your teacher
Gonna make you shapen up
I will tame the wilderness in you
(Too good too good to be true)

Well I'm giving it up for you
What more can I do
Giving it up for a helping hand
Well I'm giving it up for you
What more can I do (ahhh)
Young man you're too good to be true

Why you are such an ignorant and misbehaving child
Is what everybody wants to know
You blame your family for every careless in the past
You're just taking cover from yourself

Ahh ahh ah
Do you believe, do do do do you believe
Without your family
You're lost, turn you on
Still blaming them for what you've done...

Well I'm giving it up for you
What more can I do
Giving it up for a helping hand
Well I'm giving it up for you
What more can I do (can I do)
Young man you're too good to be true

With a education born in this nation
What do you want to do
Surfing in the cyber
Quit playing all your game
With a education born in this nation
What do you want to do
You're Sitting in front of the TV
Or you´ll dance the night away

Well I'm giving it up for you
What more can I do
Giving it up for a helping hand
Well I'm giving it up for you
What more can I do
Young man you're too good to be true
Yes, you are

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.
