Look Sharp! is the second studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette. The album was released on 21 October 1988, two years after their debut Pearls of Passion (1986). It was recorded at EMI Studios in Stockholm and at Trident II Studios in London between March and September 1988. The album was an immediate commercial success in Sweden, debuting at number one and eventually being certified 6× platinum there.

Although commercial success elsewhere was initially modest, the album was the duo's international breakthrough. It went on to be certified platinum or multi-platinum in numerous territories, while four of its singles went on to become global hits.

I've got a hot chilly feeling I don't understand.

I've got to run through this minute like a hurricane.

I've got to tighten my wire from the sense to the soul.

I find my back to the wall when it's time to go.

I've got to know

is that your heartbeat?

Paint...

me right.

Can you feel the heat in me tonight?

Oh I,

I'm the pearl...

Paint your love all over my world.

I get a love shock/electric from the touch of your hand.

I'm getting lost in the riddles of the modern man.

I've got it up down all around tied to the bone.

Hey there's a strange situation on the late nite show.

I've got to know

is that your heartbeat?

Paint...

me right.

Can you feel the heat in me tonight?

Oh I,

I'm the pearl...

Paint your love all over my world.

Do it right,

I can feel the woman in me tonight.

Oh I,

I'm the pearl...

Paint your love all over my world.
