what in the world can make a brown eyed girl turn blue?

day 29 – a song from your childhood
Roxette -The Look

My dad loved Roxette. I remember listening to their albums on repeat during roadtrips. Uso pa casette tape that time, no CDs yet. I wasn’t really into them and was absolutely disturbed by Per Gessle‘s hairstyle. I learned to appreciate their songs and other than good old Pretty Woman’s It Must Have Been Love, I’m sure everyone’s familiar with Dangerous, Listen To Your Heart and Joyride. This one’s my favourite, though. Such a catwalk favourite then, I’d imagine. And if you’re unlucky enough you’ll probably hear me (trying to) sing it in the shower. Har.

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 cos 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)
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

She’s got the look (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

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
And she goes….

Na na na na na……
She’s got the look
