They call to her from across the street
But they don't know her name
She's in the wrong place at the wrong time
Who's to blame
She wonders how to change
The life she's living
She wonders if she'll ever get away

As far as I can see, the writing's on the wall
There's no return, we live, we learn
The game goes on and on and

Que Sera
I like you but I don't
Really want to take you home
Que Sera
It's a lonely life
Living on my on
Que Sera What's it gonna be, what's it gonna be

She left her home when she was seventeen
Simply disappeared in the rain
Those were bad times so it was high times
She knows she'd do it again
She wonders how
She's going to make a living
She wonders if she'll make it through the day

As far as I can see, I've seen it all before
A lonely girl in a big bad world
The games goes on and on and

Que Sera...

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.
