Roxette Album

Opportunity nox Opportunity nox...

Well, I like you
I couldn't think of anything but you
for a week I was in love with your hairdo
I couldn't chew the smart things I used to
I knew I was way over the moon

When I met you
when I met you
I didn't know what to do
when I saw you
when I saw you you said:

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on

I'm sleeping and I'm dreaming so solo
I saw you in the crowd in the front row
you couldn't get it right in the disco
you're dancing so much better in slo-mo

When I met you
when I met you
I didn't know what to do
When I saw you
when I saw you, you said:

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on

When I met you
when I met you
I didn't know what to do
when I saw you
when I saw you you said

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity ROX

1-2-3-4
Walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop,
she's got the look.
Heavenly bound
cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around,
Kissing is a colour,
her loving is a wild dog,
she's got the look.

She's got the look.
She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
and I go: la la la la la
she's got the look.

Fire in the ice,
naked to the T-bone
is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull,
she's got the look.
Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer,
she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
Kissing is the wet sand,
she's got the look.

And she goes:
na na na na na na na na.

Tried to make it little by little,
tried to make it bit by bit on my own.
Quit the job, the grey believers,
another town where I get close to the bone.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh
whatcha gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go...

I'm gonna get dressed for success
shaping me up for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
shaping it up for your love yea yea yea.

I'm not afraid, a trembling flower,
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
and in the dark things happen faster.
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh
whatcha gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go...

I'm gonna get dressed for success,
hitting a spot for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
shaping it up for your love.

Look sharp!

You pack your bag.
You take control.
You're moving into my heart
and into my soul.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I won't be walking on thin
ice to get through the night.

Hey, where's your work?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous.

You turn around,
so hot and dry.
You're hiding under a halo,
your mouth is alive.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I'm not attracted to go-go deeper tonight.

Hey, what's your word?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...

I hit the road out of nowhere
I had to jump in my car
And be a rider in a love game
Following the stars
Don't need no book of wisdom
I get no money talk at all

She has a train going downtown
She's got a club on the moon
And she's telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon

She's the heart of the funfair
She's got me whistling her private tune

And it all begins where it ends
And she's all mine, my magic friend

She says: Hello, you fool, I love you
Come on join the joyride
Join the joyride

She's a flower, I can paint her
She's a child of the sun
We're a part of this together
Could never turn around and run
Don't need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs,
Oh no

Cause it all begins again when it ends
And we're all magic friends

She says: Hello, you fool, I love you
Come on join the joyride
Join the joyride

Be a joyrider

I take you on a skyride
A feeling like you're spellbound
The sunshine is a lady
Who ROX you like a baby

She says: Hello, you fool, I love you
Come on join the joyride

She's the top, she's got the world on a string
She makes me boogie, makes me do anything, yea yea

Hey now, touch the sky
You've got a certain kind of look in your eyes

Well, she's a miracle, she's all that I need
Like the water and the air that I breathe, yea yea

Hey now, reach the sky
There's a certain kind of look in your smile

And I know what love can do
Yes I know what hearts can do

The big love is taking the wheel
The big love goes head over heels
The big lust, bring it into the small world
The bigger, the better

Big love, waiting to catch the big one
Head over heels, the big one
Bring it into the small world
I'm building the big big love
I'm building the big big love

It's kinda strange, a bit mysterious
I gotta take it oh so so serious, yea yea

Hey now, touch the sky
You've got a certain kind of look in your eyes

It used to be so hard so lonely at night
Well, she's my baby and I'm feeling allright

Hey now, move the sky
There's a certain kind of look in that smile

When I'm making love with her
When I'm making love to her, yea

The big love is taking the wheel
The big love goes head over heels
The big lust, bring it into the small world
The bigger, the better

Big love, waiting to catch the big one
Head over heels, the big one
Bring it into the small world
I'm building the big big love
I'm building the big big love

It has to be a big thing
It's bringing me to my knees
Has to be a big thing
Big thing

Can't we leave the world outside
Just for a while? Just for a while?
Spend some time, you and I
Under this bright glorious sky

It's been so long since I first saw you
But I still love that smile in your eyes

Yes it's true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
Yes it's you, that make me part of
And I believe in the church of your heart

Step inside, lay yourself down
Just for a while, rest for a while
I can hear a thundering sound
Beating inside when you're around

It's been so long since I first met you
Since we made love, you know how time flies

Yes it's true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
Yes it's you that make me be part of
And I believe in the church of your heart
In the church of your heart

Yes it's true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
Yes it's you that make me be part of
And I believe in the church of your heart

Pretty baby it's true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
Yes it's you that make me be part of
And I believe in the church of your heart
In the church of your heart

I see you comb your hair
and gimme that grin.
It's making me spin now,
spinnin' within.
Before I melt like snow,
I say Hello
How do you do!

I love the way you undress now.
Baby begin.
Do your caress, honey, my heart's in a mess.
I love your blue-eyed voice,
like Tiny Tim shines thru.
How do you do!
Well, here we are crackin' jokes in the corner of our mouths
and I feellike I'm laughing in a dream.
If I was young I could wait outside your school
cos your face is like the cover of a magazine.

How do you do,
do you do,
the things that you do.
No one I know could ever keep up with you.
How do you do!
Did it ever make sense to you to say Bye
Bye Bye?

I see you in that chair with perfect skin.
Well, how have you been, baby, livin' in sin?
Hey, I gotta know,
did you say Hello
How do you do?
Well, here we are spending time in the louder part of town
and it feels like everything's surreal.
When I get old I will wait outside your house
cos your hands have got the power meant to heal.

I'll tell you what I've done
I'll tell you what I'll do
Been driving all night just to get close to you
Baby Babe - I'm moving so fast
You'd better come on.

The moon is alright
The freeway's heading south
My heart is going Boom!
There's a strange taste in my mouth
Baby Babe - I'm moving real fast
So try to hold on
Try to hold on!

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making up.

So come out tonight
I'll take you for a ride
This steamy ol' wagon
The radio is getting wild
Baby Babe - we're moving so fast
I try to hang on
Try to hang on!

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making love, oh yea!

Sleeping in my car - I will possess you
Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you
Laying in the back seat of my car making up.

The night is so pretty and so young
The night is so pretty and so youngSo very young...

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making love to you.

Sleeping in my car - I will possess you
Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you
Laying in the back seat of my car making up.

I will undress you
I will undress you.
The night is so pretty and so young.

Baby, sometimes I feel like dying
Driving while I'm closing my eyes
Moving in and out of hiding
Trying to catch some truth in my life
Watching your stars and your moonlight
Come tumbling down from the skyTake it now.

I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna come to you
I wanna find you
In everything that I do
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna count on you
I'm gonna follow
Baby, what else can I do?

Sunday morning, my town is sleeping
Lying all alone in my bed
There's not a sound, I can't help but listening
Wishing I was somewhere else instead
But sometimes they're too hard to handle
These voices inside my head
Listen now.

I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna come to you
I wanna find you
In everything that I do
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna count on you
I'm gonna follow
Baby, what else can I do?

Take a walk inside my dream: A church, a lonely road
All the people come and go and come and go.

Didn't I tell you everything is possible in this deja vu?
Try the river boat, the carousel, feed the pigeons, Bar-B-Q.
Look at all the people, happy faces all around.
Smiling, throwing kisses, busy making lazy sounds

It's a bright June afternoon, it never gets dark.
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun.
Get your green, green tambourine, let's play in the park.
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun

Some folks are on blankets, slowly daydreaming
and reaching for their food.
Let's go buy an ice-cream and a magazine with an attitude
and put on a cassette, we can pretend that you're a star
cos life's so very simple just like la-la-la

It's a bright June afternoon...

There's a painter painting his masterpiece.
There are some squirrels jumping in the trees,
There's a wide-eyed boy with a red balloon.

You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
Wherever you go, I'm going with you
Shouldn't you know I'm bound to follow
Whatever you say, whatever you do
I give you a clue, I'm gonna follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you

Why don't you let me, let me come along
Na na na, na na na
Why don't you open, make me come along
Na na na, na na na
Wherever you go, I'm going for you
Oh, I was truly born to follow
Like fire and wood and paper and glue
Only a few were born to follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

Stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

And the stars will show
Every breeze will blow
Knowing all I know

(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 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

She had those magic eyes
you could see from miles around
she wore her summer-dresses bright
quite like the sky
she always came in colors
all smiles and daffodils
she let her hair down in the breeze
but every little thing has changed today
little miss sorrow

Every little thing turned pale and fading
little miss sorrow

The sunlight doesn't show
all the colors go
out the through the window
she used to go out dancing
cool silver fingernails
I used to watch her from the bar
following her car
she always came in colors
she always kept control

She painted yesterday in gold
but every little thing turned grey
little miss sorrow

Every little thing turned pale
and fading
little miss sorrow

The sunlight doesn't show
all the colors go
even the rainbow

Allow me to introduce myself
I am just a local boy
she was my little miss joy
I want to call her name
my life won't be the same
dear god

Every little thing has changed
little miss sorrow
every little thing turned pale
and fading
little miss sorrow
every little thing turned grey
today

The weak replace the strong
the bird forgot the song
what's going on?
what's going on?
what's going on?
