Roxette is a Swedish pop rock duo, consisting of Marie Fredriksson (vocals) and Per Gessle (vocals and guitar). Formed in 1986, the duo became an international act in the late 1980s, when they released their breakthrough album Look Sharp!. Their third album Joyride, which was released in 1991, became just as successful as its predecessor. Roxette went onto achieve nineteen UK Top 40 hits and several US Hot 100 hits, including four US number-ones with "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love", and "Joyride".

I gathered a mountain
An ocean of teardrops
A castle of break-ups
To hide myself in

I've waited a lifetime
For someone to find me
For someone to reach me
Somewhere to begin

Now I'm a woman
I can tell by the look in your eyes
We're no strangers
I can tell by the way that you smile

I've painted the sunsets
The dawnings I've missed you
The hours I've kissed you
To keep my heart alive

It's the heat of your breathing
The way you are whispering
The urge of your wanting
I can't leave you behind

Now I'm a woman
I can tell by the look in your eyes
We're no strangers
I can tell by the waves in the night

You bring a little hope, bring a little love

I don't want to own you
I don't want to lead you
I just want to love you

In my own way
