Biography

Swedish pop duo, formed in 1986 in Halmstad by [a=Per Gessle] and [a=Marie Fredriksson]. The group enjoyed worldwide success from the late 1980s until the mid-1990s, gaining nineteen UK Top 40 hits and four US #1 singles with, "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love" and "Joyride". Two further singles "Dangerous" and "Fading Like a Flower" hit #2. Finally, "Dressed for Success" was a modest hit in the US peaking at #14. After a hiatus in the mid-1990s, their popularity continued in other territories such as Europe and South America, where they earned various Gold and Platinum awards until the beginning of the new millennium. In 2002 the duo took a break from recording and touring when Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour. In 2009 Roxette took to the stage together again for the first time in 8 years, during Gessle's European Party Crasher tour. Their songs continue to receive radio airplay, with "It Must Have Been Love" and "Listen to Your Heart" both recently receiving awards from BMI for achieving four million radio plays. They have sold an estimated 60 million records worldwide, with over 3.5 million record sales in the United States, achieving platinum for Joyride and Look Sharp! there.

LYRICS

You can watch her doin' the rounds
She's there for everyone
Throwin' kisses, makin' plans
For midnight men, mornin' sons
Well, did the wine make her dance?
No, she's always been the star
She's got that riddle in her smile
But a burden in her heart

She's so happy on the outside
But she's cryin' on the inside
And there's nothin' I can do
To make her glad

So happy on the outside
Hurtin' on the inside
And it's sad so sad
Baby, it's so sad

Hey, did the wine make her dance?
No, she's always been a star
So be prepared to fall in love
Though her heart hides the scars

She's so happy on the outside
Hurtin' on the inside
It's such a sad sad sight
Such a sad sad sight

She's so happy on the outside
But she's cryin' on the inside
And there's nothin' I can do
To make it right

She's so happy on the outside
Oooh, hurtin' on the inside
It's such a sad sad sight
Such a sad sad sight
Such a sad sight
Oh such a sad sight
