Roxette Album

(words and music by Per Gessle) 

Right in the front door I recognized the perfume
The scent was perfect in the dusk by the moon
There must be many ways to ask her to my room
Why didn't I dare?
Well, every hour I try to get somethin' done
Out in the weekend when I'm just havin' some fun
I'm windin' up with none, just zeroes, no 1's, just space with no air

I get: "Bye-bye baby-baby bye baby-baby bye-bye¡­"
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what I want and what I need
That's what I need.

Yeah, every Friday I'm gettin' ready to roll
I want her blue eyes start sayin' "Hi" and "Hello"
but I can always tell she'd rather be alone with some other guy

I get: "Bye-bye baby-baby bye baby-baby bye-bye¡­"
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what I want and what I need
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what you've got so what's for me?
Hey, what's for me?

I turn myself in, turn turn turn
I turn myself out, outside and in
Gimme gimme real sugar

(words and music, Per Gessle)

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in pain, tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is a suburb to the brain !! 

You wear them so well, those innocent eyes
You're putting on a wonderful disguise.
I want you so bad, I'm pushing my luck
It feels like beeing hit by a truck.
This is no place special, don't know why I came 
If someone has a minute, won't you explain?

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in pain? Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is a suburb to the brain?

Singing: "Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na"

Beeing with you, dealing with fire
Oh, won't you come around (come out) come out (today) and play
I want you so bad, answer my calls
Let's spend the night within these walls
This is no place special, nothing for the same

(words and music, Per Gessle)

Milk and toast and honey make it sunny on a rainy Saturday, he-he-hey
Milk and toast, some coffee take the stuffiness out of days you hate, you really hate
Slow morning news pass me by
I try not to analyze but didn't he blow my mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind?

(Here he comes) To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the hurt inside is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want in life

Milk and toast and honey
Ain't it funny how things sometimes look so clear and feel so near
The dreams I dream, my favourite wishful thinkin'
Oh, he's bookmarked everywhere, everywhere
True love might fall from the sky
You never know what to find but didn't he blow my mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind?

(Here he comes) To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the pain inside is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want from life

(Here he comes) Oh lay a little lovin', honey
To feel you're gettin' close to me is everything that matters to me

(words and music, Per Gessle)

Jefferson was always out of luck
I remember when we both grew up
Jefferson got hit by a westbound truck
I guess that didn't make him look like a million bucks
That night when Sally really stole the show
And every boy was captured diggin' for gold
Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul


Jefferson is always on my mind
When him and me were runnin' out of time
Jefferson was sure enough left behind
The cops came in and took him by surprise
That night when Sally really showed her game
The neighbourhood would never be the same
Poor old Jefferson got the blame

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson Pray for Jefferson's soul


I do believe he didn't do wrong
I say a prayer for someone I care for


That night where Sally really gave it all
And made us small boys look quite tall

(words and music, Marie Fredriksson)

Once upon a time there was a little girl
Once she was mine
In my heart the only one
I wonder where you are
I know you're somewhere in me
I can see your smile when I close my eyes

Oh, little girl
Where did you go, little girl
I miss you so
I remember when she was mine

Once upon a time there was a little voice
Singing loud and clear
In my heart the only one
Once upon a times there was so many dreams
Once they were mine
Oh little girl, they are with you now

Oh little girl 
Where did you go, little girl
I miss you so

(words and music, Per Gessle)

Where did she go? Where did she go from here? 
The last time I saw her she made all the clouds disappear 
She said, with a smile, yea, the weather's alright 
She left her coat at home that night

Where do I begin today? 
Where do colours never fade? 
In the sunshine, in the rain it's quite the same 
It's never gonna change I'll be looking for Jane

Why did she come? Why did she come to me? 
There must have been millions in the world she'd rather see 
At least in my mind as time has gone by 
it's always harder to laugh then to cry

Where do I begin today? (ba-ba-ba) 
Where the colours never fade (ba-ba-ba) 
In the sun and in the rain it's quite the same 

(words and music, Per Gessle)

Been thinking about you without even trying, I've done it
There's something about you I can't put my finger on it
Monday was fine and I was on a high 

Oh you thrilled me
I should be alright but Friday I died when you killed me
You're bringing me down to my knees, oh oh
Love me forever or baby, just let it go, oh oh

I'm begging you please to ease, allow your feelings to show, oh oh
You're bringing me down to my knees cos I love you so
If your love is strong I want to be sure about it
Oh is it all wrong to go on talking about it? 


Monday was fine, yea the hours went by like a summer breeze
But way down the line you might make up your mind and it's time to freeze
You're bringing me down to my knees

(words and music, Per Gessle)

I don't know much about you, but I pretty sure I wanna be with you
I haven't got a clue what is wrong, what is right, what is left to do
I read a magazine I watch a TV-screen
I dive into a dream only to find me in love with you

I wish you'll never stop to make my head go pop
You make my head go pop pop pop pop pop pop every time you're around

It's a pleasant valley Sunday and everything seems to be beautiful
People go to church, but I'm found contemplating by the swimmingpool
I'm gazing at the sun I watch him bringing joy to everyone
I feed the ducks with a ban only to find me in love with you

I wish you'll never stop to make my head go pop
You make my head go pop pop pop pop pop pop

You make my head go pop pop pop pop pop pop every time you're around
Press to play and never stop to make my head go pop
Yea, you make my head go pop pop pop pop pop pop every time you're around

Make my head go pop pop pop
Make my head go pop pop
Go pop pop

(words and music, Per Gessle)

I left and wrote down this song cos my life looked so shatterd
I thank the Lord I'm still strong like before
I picked myself up from the floor and tried

I tried just a little bit harder, oh yea
If someone wants you to bleed and it feels like your're dying
Don't make the moves you don't need, don't cry, just say ba-ba-bye-bye and try, try

Try just a little bit harder, you'll survive
Try just a little bit harder, go ahead and try

Mondays and rainy days were in my pocket
I don't want to send them on to you

(words and music, Per Gessle)

I was alone 
I told my mouth to shut up cos I was talking to myself
like I always do when I'm stuck
Well, I was crying
You could be crying too
I was screaming throungh the window, I keep missing you
And the tears came down from the sky
And the rain feel hard on my eyes

Now you know what I look like, I'm feeling like a fool
I lose on my own, I'm going back to school

And I will pray, Hallelujah, you'll be breaking every rule
and come back to stay, I'm feeling like a fool

I really tried so hard to design my life
There's a big black void in my head like it's been cut by a knife
Every time your name comes around this stupidity follows me down

Now you know what I look like, I'm feeling like a fool
I thought I could swim I'm drowning in the pool

And I will pray, Hallelujah, you'll be breaking every rule
and consider to stay, I'm feeling like a fool

Please, come back to stay, I'm feeling like a fool
I'm feeling like a fool in my heart
I'm feeling like a fool

(words and music, Per Gessle)

Why don't you take the rest of the day off
You do deserve a break
Follow that road, it ain't long
Just cross that silver lake
Yea, pass the pond, the off-white fence
When you see the mailbox to the left you've made it all right,
No way to go wrong
All you do is blow that horn

It takes you no time to get here
Just drive out of town today
It takes you no time to get here and when
You've arrived you might as well stay
You might as well stay

Why don't you leave your desk for a short while
You do deserve some time
Enjoying the other side of life you forgot to memorize
Stay in the sun, reach for the moon
Make a little love in the afternoon
You're doing all right, no way you go wrong
This is the place where you belong

It takes you no time

(words and music, Per Gessle)

Some days are covered in rain while other days are made of glory 
And you are the summer sun the only one who knows the story

Do you want to talk about it? I dont know
Do you want to say some words? Oh, I can't let go

I'm talking 'bout my world, my love, my life
Everytime I try to close my eyes
You just enter my mind
and you lay yourself down beside me... oh why ?

Some streets are covered with sweat
there are no regrets just new connections... ohhh
You are the Summer Son and I'm the one who wants affection

Do you want to talk about it? I dont know
Do you want to speak some words? Oh, I can't let go

I'm talking 'bout my world, my love, my life
Everytime I try to close my eyes 
You just run through my head
