[Intro / Chorus]
Huh!
Pole position, push a little harder
Hey now, life is every minute
All or nothing
Living on the limits
Hey now, I'll race you to the finish

[Verse 1]
All or nothing, lost in time
You’re flashing through my mind
Pole position's teasing me
I cannot see the light

Last night, on my way to nowhere
Looking for a lover that night
Same night from that very nowhere
You turned out the love of my life

[Pre-Chorus]
Fast feelings took over me
Always wanted to be in

[Chorus]
Pole position, push a little harder
Hey now, life is every minute
All or nothing
Living on the limits
Hey now (hey now)
I'll race you to the finish

Life is every minute
Living on the limit
Push a little harder to play
Push a little harder to play

Life is every minute
Living on the limit
Push a little harder to play
Push a little harder to play
Push a little harder to play

[Bridge]
Now you tease my fantasy
It’s a bitter sweet memory
I belong to you, talk, talk

[Chorus]
Pole position, push a little harder
Hey now, life is every minute
All or nothing
Living on the limits
Hey now, I'll race you to the finish

[Verse 2]
Pole position's driven me
To be faster than the sound (pole position)
Pole position's killing me
I cannot see the light

[Chorus / Verse 3]
Pole position, push a little harder (push a little harder)
Hey now, life is every minute (all or nothing)
All or nothing
Living on the limits (hey now)
Hey now, I'll race you to the finish a-ah
Pole position, push a little harder
Hey now, life is every minute
All or nothing
Living on the limits (push a little harder today)
Hey now, I'll race you to the finish (a-ah)

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.
