  • (One, two, three, four)
    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 color
    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, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na-na (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
    What in the world can make you so blue
    When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
    And I go la-la-la-la-la

    Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na-na (she's got the look)

    She goes
    Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na-na (she's got the look)
    She's got the look, she's goes
    Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na-na (she's got the look)
    She's got the look, she's goes
    Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na-na-na-na
    She's got the look, she's got the look Writer/s: Per Håkan Gessle

  • Tom Banks from UkWhen I finally got my hands on the 12" single, I played it and wondered what all the hype was about, The singer sounded like Mickey Mouse. Then I noticed that for some reason, this particular 12" single was played at 33 rpm, and I had automatically set my record player to 45. Oops.
  • Seventh Mist from 7th HeavenEsskayess: Actually, Roxette would have had a case against Adams, since "Everything I Do, I Do for You" was released 3 years after "The Look."
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyPer: www.legacy.com {12-10-2019}...
    Marie Fredriksson, lead singer and keyboardist for Roxette, passed away on December 9th, 2019 in Djursholm, Sweden. She was 61 years old...
    Between 1989 and 1994 Roxette had twelve records on Billboard's Top 100 chart, six made the Top 10, and all six either peaked at #1 or at #2 on the Top 100...
    The four of the six that peak at #1 were "The Look" for 1 week in 1989, "Listen To Your Heart" for 1 week in 1989, "It Must Have Been Love" for 2 weeks in 1990, and "Joyride" for 1 week in 1991...
    And the two that reach #2 were "Dangerous" for 2 weeks in 1990 and ""Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)" for 1 week in 1991...
    May she R.I.P.
  • Esskayess from Dallas, Tx'What in the world can make brown-eyed girl turn blue/When everything I'll ever do, I'll do for you.'

    Crystal Gayle and Bryan Adams should have c0-sued over that line.
  • Amanda from Acton, MaWell, I say to Per: Liar, liar, pants on fire. When I first heard this song, I knew that the stork doesn't bring babies, so I knew what it was about. "Heaven's got a number when she's spinning me around?" "Shaking like a mad bull?" "Tasty like a raindrop?" Okay, Per, stop right there! That's WAY more than I needed to know about this girl!
  • Liesa from Roy, UtLove it! Roxette is the best!
  • Tyfa from North, United Kingdomi luv this song...it's a timeless piece
  • Trist'n from Cheyenne/oak Harbor, WaActually I believe the #1 song for strippers is pour some sugar on me!
  • Cyberpope from Richmond, CanadaThis has got to be the #1 song for exotic dancers to strip to!
  • Ed from Incognito, IlMy band covers this song, and the people can't get on the dance-floor fast enough...still can't figure that one out.
