About Always Have, Always Will

"Always Have Always Will" is a single by Swedish pop band Ace of Base. Heavily inspired by the Motown sound of the mid-1960s, the intro samples the intros from the Supremes track "Where Did Our Love Go" and the Four Tops track "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)". It was co-written by Jonas Berggren with Mike Chapman. The song was originally titled "Killer on the Rampage" and contained different lyrics. When the song was pitched as a potential song for the upcoming Flowers/Cruel Summer album, Arista records liked the melody; however, requested that the lyrics be rewritten. The song was released from the album Flowers in many parts of the world, but at different times. UK on 7 December 1998 as single three, following "Life Is a Flower" and "Cruel Summer". Australia in early 1999 as the second single, following "Cruel Summer" Scandinavia & Germany on 1 March 1999 as single four, following "Life Is a Flower", "Cruel Summer", and "Travel to Romantis".

Always have, always will
I was mesmerized when I first met you
Wouldn't let myself believe
That you could step right out of my wildest dreams
But you didn't know
That secret part of me
Until we kissed an made it open up so easily

I always have
Even when it didn't show
I always will
You know that I just want to touch you
Whenever you're close to me
I always have
Doesn't matter where we go
I always will
You know that I just want to show you
Just how much you mean to me
Always have, always will

Everything that you give in to
Everything you'll ever need
Is locked up somewhere deep inside of me
You gotta know
But more importantly
You've got to stay and hold me while we live this fantasy

I always have
Even when it didn't show
I always will
You know that I just want to touch you
Whenever you're close to me
I always have
Doesn't matter where we go
I always will
You know that I just want to show you
Just how much you mean to me

Sometimes we try too hard to please
We should let love come naturally
And sometimes I don't know
Just what you really do to me
That is O.K.
'cause it's all part of the mystery

I always have
Even when it didn't show
I always will
You know that I just want to touch you
Whenever you're close to me
I always have
Doesn't matter where we go
I always will
You know that I just want to show you
Just how much you mean to me
Always have, always will

I always have
Even when it didn't show
I always will
You know that I just want to touch you
Whenever you're close to me
I always have
Doesn't matter where we go
I always will
You know that I just want to show you
Just how much you mean to me
Always have, always will
