[Verse 1]
I'm walking down Fifth Avenue
I'm looking back, there's nothing new
Cause I know
We embrace the chase
For glorious days
Ohhhhh, together

[Chorus]
I'm going to give you
The real man behind the mask (Ohhhhhh)
Another day to show your colors (Ohhhhh)
I'm going to take you
Where you've never been before (Ohhhhh)
I'm going to make it last forever

[Verse 2]
Another time, another place, (Everywhere I go opportunities lying ahead)
When we were young, another fate, we had
With two strong hands, we built our dream
Ohhhhh together, (together forever)

[Chorus]
I'm going to give you
The real man behind the mask, (Ohhhhh)
Another day to show your colors, (Ohhhhh)
I'm going to take you
Where you've never been before, (Ohhhhh)
I'm going to make it last forever

[Bridge]
I'm going to show you who you are
My everlasting star
Always attractive, are fantastic, World’s so elastic
I'm going to give you more than words
A feeling extreme my love supreme
A story that's beyond your wildest dream

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry, don't worry

[Chorus]
I'm going to give you the real man behind the mask (the man behind the mask)
Another day to show your colors, (Ohhhhh)
I'm going to take you
Where you've never been before, (Ohhhhh)
I'm going to make it last forever

[Outro]
I'm going to give you the real me man behind the mask
Another day to show your colors
The man behind the mask, I'm going make it make it last forever
I'm going to give you, the real man behind the mask

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.
