[VERSE 1]
You want to be loved
We all want to be loved
So lift up your heart
And make a brand new start
Cause you want to be loved
And love will be waiting
Give and you will get
What you want
Cause that's what you need
So lift up your heart
And make a brand new start
Cause you want to be loved
And love will be waiting
This is what I say

[Chorus]
When you want to be loved
The decision's up to you
When you want to be happy
When you want to be loved
The decision's up to you
It's up to you

[VERSE 2]
You want to be loved
Then walk like a man
And act like a fool
Yeah, play it cool
Well you want to be good
And pure and kind
So take your chance to shine in the world
Cause we are a judge
So judge for yourself
And make a brand new start
Make it happen
Make it happen
Make it happen
This is what I say

[Chorus]
When you want to be loved
The decision's up to you
When you want to be happy
Aah
When you want to be loved
The decision's up to you
It's up to you

Ooh, when you want to be loved
The decision's up to you
When you want to be loved
The decision's up to you

[MIDDLE 8]
Here I am, I'm yours tonight
Be my guest, it's not a big request
It's waiting

[Chorus]
When you want to be loved
The decision's up to you
It's up to you
When you want to be loved
The decision's up to you
It's up to you
Mmm, when you want to be loved
The decision is up to you
It's up to you
When you want to be loved
The decision's up to you
It's up to you

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.
