[Intro]
A do do do do-wah
A do do do do-wah
Hey, make my day
A do do do do-wah
A reason not to see you
A do do do do-wah

[Verse 1]
He wakes up in the morning with a smile upon his face
He's a fortnight Casanova with no lasting grace
Watcha gonna do about your brother?
He's a hopeless case
Tell me something I don't know

[Chours]
A do do do do-wah
I've been back long before you
A do do do do-wah
Hey, make my day
A do do do do-wah
A reason not to see you
A do do do do-wah
A do do do do-wah

[Verse 2]
Now the party's over, you might lose a date
An anti workaholic - I'll give you that
So they're gonna see us on all others
Do it all you can
Just to be some promised man

[Chours]
A do do do do-wah
I've been back long before you
A do do do do-wah
Hey, make my day
A do do do do-wah
A reason not to see you
A do do do do-wah
Hey, yeah yeah make my day

[Bridge]
You wait for the night to come
Just wait for tonight
You wait for the night to come
Just wait for tonight

[Chours]
A do do do do-wah
A do do do do-wah
Hey, make my day
A do do do do-wah
A do do do do-wah
A do do do do-wah
I've been back long before you
A do do do do-wah
Hey, make my day
A do do do do-wah
A reason not to see you
A do do do do-wah
Hey, make my day

[Verse 3 / Outro]
You wait for the night to come
Just wait for tonight
You wait for the night to come
Just wait for tonight
You wait for the night to come
Just wait for tonight...

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.
