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. "The
Look" and "Listen to Your Heart" both topped the Billboard Hot
100, while "Dangerous" and "Dressed for Success" reached
numbers 2 and 14 respectively on the same chart.
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.
