Ace of Base – All That She Wants

She leads a lonely life
She leads a lonely life

When she woke up late in the morning light
And the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought
Oh, what a morning
It's not a day for work
It's a day for catching sun
Just laying on the beach and having fun
She's going to get you

All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby

(All that she wants)

(All that she wants)

So if you are in sight and the day is right
She's a hunter, you're the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won't talk forever
It is a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She's going to get you

All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby

All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby

All that she wants
All that she wants

    General Commenti think this song is about a girl who just play with boys, she's lonely, and i think she's sad, and she wants to have a lot of guys in just one night stand, and leave them in love with her at the next morning, she has evil ways, but she's not bad, she's just depressed.

    General CommentJeez, I can't believe how stupid I was - I always thought this was some bizarre song about a woman who wanted a _baby_ - literally. The colloquial use of 'baby' did not occur to me with regards to this song. Another lover. So I always just thought it was an extremely odd song about an extremely weird woman. HA!

    General CommentI LOVE this song! OMG the memories Ace of Base brings back, lmao. It's about a girl who's basically a vixen, and instead of working she likes to lounge around, get a tan, and treat herself like a queen. She's always on the lookout for guys, but she just wants some fun. She'll be with him for the night,ya know a one night stand, and then she's gone in the morning...ready for her next "baby"

    General CommentI used to think this was about a girl who was going on holiday to find a man for a one-night stand so she could get pregnant and not have to have the guy around. And that 'another' baby was because she had a miscarriage or something. Man, my mind is a dark and horrible place.

    General Commenti think this is about like a lady who is like missing something and she fills it with a guy. She wants to feel loved because she feels empty and the guy will make her feel loved for that one night of passion and than she'll leave and look for another baby to fill her soul.

    General CommentThe girl in this song reminds me of the chicks I see every day on the Maury Show-

    Maury- "[Guy's name], you ARE the father!"
    ATSW Girl- "I told you dat's yo' baby! Pay me my child support! Where my money at?!?"

    My InterpretationThis song is exactly what it sounds like to me. As Heliamphora once thought it meant, she literally wants another baby, and it's a strange song about a strange woman. It has a very literal meaning for me and I cannot hear this song any other way. I know a woman exactly like this. She has given birth 5 times, each baby has a different father. The first one was given up for adoption, the next two are under custody of the fathers, and the two after that don't even know who their fathers are. It's a cycle for her, every six months she hooks up with a guy until she gets pregnant, then she kicks the guy out so she can keep the baby. Six months after the baby is born, she's starting over with another guy. It's really sad. It's a sad song about a woman with a serious mental illness and the men who fall victim to her wiles because they just want to help an "abused" welfare mom.

    General CommentThis song just came on the radio and reminded me about it. I miss these hearing it...it used to be on all the time...times change tho it seems. I don't think she wants a child, just a man, which it seems she'll be getting.

    General CommentYep. She always wanted a man and that's what she ended up with although most of the band members aren't so lucky. I'm so excited about the new album though! :)
