Ace of Base's ALL THAT SHE WANTS is another baby or babe or bae or gushy-bumps
2026/02/08
Play along at home with the lyrics:
[intro]
She leads a lonely life
Mm, she leads a lonely life
[Verse 1]
When she woke up late in the morning light
And the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought
"Oh, what a morning"
It's not a day for work
It's a day for catching tan
Just lying on the beach and having fun
She's going to get you
[Chorus]
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow boy
All that she wants is another baby
[Post-Chorus]
All that she wants - all that she wants
[Verse 2]
So if you are in sight and the day is right
She's a hunter you're the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won't talk forever
It's a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She's going to get you
[Chorus x2]
[Outro]
All that she wants … all that she wants

And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Will]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
[Interlude]
[Bridge: Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman & Will Champion]
Tears stream down your face
When you lose somethin' you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face, and I...
Tears stream down your face

Tears stream down your face, and I...
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

[Verse 1]
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before

'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh
[Verse 2]
Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through, they can't understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end
[Chorus]
And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
[Flute Solo]
[Verse 3 repeat of 1]

Chappell Roan's GOOD LUCK, BABE! and her struggle in quantum physics and formal nomenclature
2025/05/08
Play along at home with the lyrics:
[Verse 1]
It’s fine, it's cool
You can say that we are nothing but you know the truth
And guess i'm the fool
With her arms out like an angel through the car sunroof
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna call it off
But you don't wanna call it love
You just wanna love someone who calls you baby
[Chorus]
You can kiss a hundred boys in bars
Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
You can say it's just the way you are
Make a new excuse another stupid reason
Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!
You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!
You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
[Verse 2]
I’m cliche
Who cares
It's a sexually explicit kind of love affair
And i cry, it's not fair
I just need a little lovin’ i just need a little air
[Pre-Chorus]
Think im gonna call it off
Even if you call it love
I just wanna love someone who calls me baby
[Chorus]
You can kiss a hundred boys in bars
Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
You can say it's just the way you are
Make a new excuse another stupid reason
Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!
You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!
You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
[Bridge]
And when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night
With your head in your hands you’re nothing more than his wife
And when you think about me all of those years ago
You're standing face to face with ""i told you so""
You know I hate to say , i told you so
You know i hate to say it but, i told you so
Well i told you so
[Chorus]
You can kiss a hundred boys in bars
Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
You can say it's just the way you are
Make a new excuse another stupid reason
Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!
You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!
[Outro]
You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

Band Aid's DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS? Okay, yes they did, but we didn't know they knew, we're just popstars

Play along at home with the lyrics:
[Paul Young]
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
[Boy George]
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time
[George Michael & Simon LeBon (Duran Duran)]
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard
But when you're having fun
[Simon LeBon, & Sting]
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
[Sting, & Simon LeBon]
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
[Bono, & Sting]
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
[Bono]
Well, tonight thank God it's them
Instead of you
[Boy George & Others]
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Here's to you
[Paul Young]
Raise a glass for everyone
[Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Here's to them
[Paul Young]
Underneath that burning sun
[Paul Young, Marilyn & Glenn Gregory]
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
[Chorus: All]
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

2024/09/02
Play along at home with the lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Last night, I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China
In a little rowboat to find ya
And you said you had to get your laundry clean
Didn't want no one to hold you, what does that mean?
And you said
[Chorus]
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride
I'm runnin' and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
[Verse 2]
You're on a roll and now you pray it lasts
The road behind was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past
Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast?
And she said
[Chorus repeat]
[Bridge]
(Never let another girl like you)
Work me over
(Never let another girl like you)
Drag me under
(If I meet another girl like you)
I will tell her
(Never want another girl like you)
Have to say, oh
[Chorus repeatx2]
(Whoa)

Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Don't tell me you're too blind to see

And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well

And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

I know I'm gonna have to eventually
Give you away
