Dizzy Up The Girl (1998)












Dizzy lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

You're cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You're monochrome delerious
You're nothing that you seem
I'm drownin' in your vanity
Your laugh is a disease
You're dirty and you're sweet
You know you're everything to me

Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you want

I wanna kick at the machine
That made you piss away you dreams
And tear at your defenses
'Til there's nothing there but me
You're angry when you're beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I'm drowning in your dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream

Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you want

Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you want

Everything you are
Whatever ever you want
Whatever ever you want
Whatever ever you want

Slide lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anythin'
To feel it comin'

Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are?
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed?
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
It's somethin' I can't change
I'll live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Ooh, slide

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married Or run away?

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah, slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
(yeah slide)
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
(Oh, oh slide)
Yeah, slide between the sheets of all them beds you never knew
(Yeah slide)
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away

Broadway lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world like it's someplace that you've been

You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten, around here

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade

You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Round here, yeah

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

January Friend lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Reach
For higher ground
About the way you look
The way you scream out loud

Mine
Just like the last time
It's all the same to me
She said

Let's pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats

Cry
Don't cry out loud
You've gotta bear your cross but never dream too loud
And you're tied
Tied to the next time
You realize
Your crimes

Let's pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats

Time stood still Monday morning, yeah
Showed me what I had to see
It's not the way I thought it to be, oh yeah

You're my January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
And every heart that beats pretend
My January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
And every heart that beats tonight's pretend

Black Balloon lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Cuz you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer?

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun inside your room, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone there

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and I'll lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

Bullet Proof lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Do you listen to yourself?
Never live for someone else
Do you like the way you feel?
Nothing hurts when no one's real
She wants to shake this scene
Yeah, she wants to shake with me
She's not looking for the holes in all their lies

I wanna bullet proof your soul
Would you like to lose control?
I won't let you fall until you tell me so

What are we?
(Whatcha wanna be?)
Everything
(That ya wanna be)
All I need
(Right in front of me)
I've know before

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end?
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

Yeah, she wants to tear you down
And she leaves without a sound
It's like fallin' backwards into no one's arms

You're a bullet through my soul
And I'll never let you know
I won't let you fall until you let it go

What are we?
(Whatcha wanna be?)
Everything
(That ya wanna be)
All I need
(Right in front of me)
I've know before

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end?
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end?
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name
Should have listened when you called my name
Should have listened when you called my name

Amigone lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Everytime you point your finger
Three more point right back at you
I'm not sayin' that there's something wrong with life
Cuz that's a sad excuse

And age old game of rat and mouse
Chasin' us from house to house
I'm not sayin' that there's something wrong with you
It's wrong with me as well

Are you alive?
Amigone
(Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong?
Are you alive?
Amigone
(Miracles gone wrong)
Was the poison in our blood there all along?
Amigone

Heavenly intoxication
Love's been marred by medication
Ain't it funny how a life can take a turn
When the end is near

Are you alive?
Amigone
(Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong?
Are you alive?
Amigone
(Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong?
Amigone

I'm not sayin' that it's nothin'
I ain't gonna play along
I ain't wishin' for a miracle
That miracle's gone wrong
And you're too strong

Are you alive?
Amigone
(Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong?
Are you alive?
Amigone
(Miracles gone wrong)
Was the poison in our blood there all along?
Amigone

All Eyes On Me lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Daylight burns your sleepy eyes
And it's hard to see you dreaming
You hide inside yourself
I wonder what you're thinkin'
And everything you're chasing
It seems to leave you empty

And I won't take long to burn
All eyes on me
Through the nothing that you've learned
All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me

But your eyes look away
It's so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

You drown in deeper oceans
Inventing new religions
They smile and stab my back and
I lie and have to laugh

And I won't take long to burn
All eyes on me
Through the nothing that you've learned
All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me

But your eyes look away
It's so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

And you hide in your room
And the lights turn away
And you move from the truth
It's all so far from you

Full Forever lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

And I've had to fight
Another blurred affair tonight
Eyelids wrestle once again
Never gonna see my friend
Guided by the blinding white

Have you left home in spite
From knowing I'm alone tonight
Waiting for the light of day
Doesn't matter anyway
Something that I need to say

And I've gone underground
I'm never hangin' 'round
Should've made it back again

Why can't the moon stay full forever?
Wednesday's bad but Friday's ain't much better
(Someone's hell)
Why can't the moon stay full forever?
Right now she's got nothin' on her mind

Will this neverland
Free me from its clutching hand
It won't release me

And I've gone underground
Obsessions I have found
Couldn't make it back again

Why can't the moon stay full forever?
Wednesday's bad but Friday's ain't much better
(Someone's hell)
Why can't the moon stay full forever?
Right now she's got nothin' on her mind

Acoustic #3 lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you're hiding here alone
And your mother loves your father
Cuz she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
Cuz the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying?
Nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
Cuz the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
You're not listening anyway

Iris lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Extra Pale lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Extra pale
Oh, you're frail now
I couldn't laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free, but
I should have known it from the start

I should have known that it was
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you

How's your day
Did it go your way but
You never ask about it
All the things I wish I'd be
I should have known it from the start

I should have known that it was
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your sighs

Extra pale
Oh, you're frail now
I couldn't laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free, but
I should have known that it was

Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you

Hate This Place lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Gone away
Who knows where you been
But you take all your lies
And wish them all away

I somehow doubt
We'll ever be the same
There's too much poison
And confusion on your face

Can you feel it?
I didn't mean it
Can I see you?
What are we doin'?
I think I love you
But I ain't sayin'
Nothin' you don't know

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Take your time
Move yourself to me
Yeah, I can take your lies
Until you fall away

You know I'm lost
Hiding in your bed
No, I don't think it's wrong
It's just gone to my head

Can you feel it?
I didn't mean it
Can I see you?
What are we doin'?
I think I love you
But I ain't sayin'
Nothin' you don't know

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hey, whatcha do to me?
Would you come back to me?
Yeah, I can't do another day
I'm not certain of it anyway
I ain't messin' with another life
Can I get along without you?
Tell me the lies that you know I need

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hold on dreamaway
Hold on dreamaway

A Boy Named Goo (1995)












Long Way Down lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Oh, here you are
There's nothing left to say
You're not supposed to be that way
Did they push you out?
Did they throw you away?

Touch me now and I don't care
When you take me, I'm not there
Almost human, but I'll never be the same

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own

I never put you down
I never pushed you away
You're not supposed to be that way
And anything you want
There's nothing I could say

Is there anything to feel?
Is it pain that makes you real?
Cut me off before it kills me

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
I never put you down
I never pushed you away
Take another piece of me
Give my mind a new disease
And the black and white world never fades to grey

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
On my own
On my own

Burnin' Up lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Said you're burnin' up inside and no one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized manual from hell

Life is pretty easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside and no one cares

Said you had enough this time cuz time don't treat you well
You always cried coincidence, while I drew parallels

Life, it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside, burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside and you hurt me
(Really hurt me)
(Oh, you hurt me)

Try to take my hand tonight, I'll show you where to start
Cuz every word that left your lips is like a needle through my heart

And life, it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside, burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside and you hurt my eyes
(Cuz you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(Cuz you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(Cuz you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes

Naked lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Yeah I'm fadin' and I call out
No one hears me
Never been, never felt, never thought I'd say a word

Weighed down
Safe now

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
And shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Yeah I'm hiding in the fallout
Now I'm wasted
They don't need me, don't want me, don't hear a word I say

Weighed down
Safe now

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
And shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
And shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
By anyone
By anyone

Flat Top lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Flat top intervention
Bringin' home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground

A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
A-sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
Just look at all the washed out Hippie dreams

And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

The tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear

And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on TV

And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV screen
And assasination plots show me what I haven't got
Show me what I love, and who I'm supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me
Show it all to me

And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a whi-i-i-i-ile

Impersonality lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

When I was three feet tall
I loved the mall
And lived life for myself
Fallin' down for laughs
Your photograph
Some puppets made of felt

Watching life in Oz Thanksgivin' Eve on Grandma's old TV
Dancing roundabout, I'd twist and shout for everyone to see

Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me

Mama's in a shop
Watching little sister by myself
Robbed a wishing pond
In a fleeting bond
Vowed to share the wealth

Scooping up the coins
A warning shot from some authority
Doesn't matter now, but I'll shout out loud for everyone to see

Never got to know you
Did you ever wonder why?
Now it's nice to know ya
And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost
Was it really lost at all?
Now I'm so proud of ya
I'd love to tell you all I see
Listen hard to your reality

Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me
Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me

Name lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name
Ow!

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name

Only One lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I'll open up my head awhile
Its been dead for years
Must've been a victim of my peers
One is for my happiness
The other for my health
The last is something bigger than myself

I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say

I'm talkin' to myself again
I'll just start a fight
And nobody can prove me wrong, I'm right
Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers who try and fill your shoes

I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say

I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say

Little pictures in my head, turnin' inside-out again
Cuz fuckin' up takes practice, I feel I'm well rehearsed
Because the past is a bully and the future's even worse
Tell me what you fear cuz I can feel it like a curse

Well, you used to be a folk singer, now you're just a joke singer
Ain't no smokin' dope singer, swingin' from a rope singer

I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say

Somethin' Bad lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Well, they're shutting all the shops up on the avenue
And they're holding up for cheaper Chinese food
If I'm old then I would have a tainted attitude
Why'd those neon lights all lose their common blue?

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah, but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change

Well I see her walking round the block till six a.m.
The thermometer's at minus five degrees
And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah, but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah, but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change

Ain't That Unusual lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Could you talk to me
Honestly
Cuz I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean

Cuz all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made-for-TV movie
And I just blew my line

Someday you never made it Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?

Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared, now
Now what's that supposed to mean?

I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
It's somethin' that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme

Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?

See I'd love to be you
At least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me

You're everything I want and haven't got
I'm sick of everything I'm not
Put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind

Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?

So Long lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Don't take much lookin' back to know I took my coffee black then
Nothing's different now, but nothin' seems the same and it's alright
Your optimistic views, your hundred dollar running shoes and
Carpel tunnel syndrome, we all had a laugh about it

I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all
So long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

Don't take much lookin' back to know I faked that heart attack then
Nothing's different now, but nothin' seems the same and it's alright
You always spoke the truth from circa disco Abba boots and
All that showbiz talk, oh we all had a laugh about it

I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all
So long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

I gotta get back to where I belong
Long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

So long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

Eyes Wide Open lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I'm a fortunate son of a fortunate son
Livin' large on the wrong side of town
Too many friends and the fun never ends
Drinkin' and hangin' around

I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down

Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be

I don't take the bus and I never walk too far
The furthest I got was my own backyard
A fist full of cash that somebody else earned
Send me some more when it all got burned

I wanna take control, wanna make it all mine
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna' kick it all down

Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be

Never ever ever
Never ever ever
Never ever ever
Never ever ever

I get what I want if I make up my mind
I'm turnin' you inside out
I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
I think I'll just kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down

Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
Eyes wide open
[fade out]

Disconnected lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I don't remember
It doesn't ring a bell
And when you call me everything is swell

I tend to forget about the times we had
And now it doesn't matter cuz I feel so sad

I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothing's come along, yeah

We've paid the price and now we're both alone
And if you call me, you'll find me home
I've found another, someone to take your place
Now if you don't mind, please get outta of my face

I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothin's come along, yeah

Cuz, I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothing's come along

Slave Girl lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I drag her around wherever I go
This little woman drives me insane
She's tied to my ankle with a ball and chain

For sixteen years, she's been hangin' around
Tryin' to bury me in a hole in the ground
Well, I think it's time that I even the score
There's only room for one in this cage of yours

Don't save me when I startin' to drown
Don't use me when you don't want me around
Just be my slave girl, cuz that's all I need
So take a little step back to the stone age with me
Go!

Well I hear a strange noise as I lie in my bed
I feel a lotta water drippin' on my head
I look around tried to see through my hair
You left me alone, but do you think I care?

Cuz you moved me when I was takin' my time
You abused me when I'm outta line
You tried to warn me of the danger sign
So watch out!
Go!

Well, you got me in the bondage of another age
You drive me to distraction in a primitive way
I can't control my instincts when I hear her say
Just come around and see me if you lose your way

So join my chain gang, play along with me
I'll be your caveman, it's basic as can be
I'm not insane, man, I'm just outta my tree

Fallin' Down lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Do you know where you wanna go?
I ain't got time for you now
Do you think, that I'll ever be?

Cuz all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're makin' me fall down
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling?

Do you see what you do to me?
You ain't got time for it now
Do you think, that I'll ever be?

Cuz all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're makin' me fall down
I'm falling down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling?

Cuz all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're makin' me fall down
I'm falling down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling, oh no
I'm home,
I'm home,
I'm home,
I'm home

Lucky Star lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

If I could walk a straight mile
And could write it down in shorthand, I could show you
If you want me to
And if I had an hourglass
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
That's what I'd do

But I remember
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could be

Well there's a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you'd shout it with me
Like every time the leaves would fall
You promised me that they'd be back again
And I believed in you

You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too far

As bright as you are, don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are, don't get burned by your lucky star

Written down in hard bound books
The way things used to be, they ain't for me
I'd swear they're all for you
We said sugar, Gramps said shoot
Her momma said shit, I don't know what she'll do
As if it's up to you

But I remember
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too far

As bright as you are, don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are, don't get burned by your lucky star

Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Turn you 'round, turn you 'round, turn you 'round
They're gonna turn you around

Cuz You're Gone lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

You whispered in my mouth
And I spit you words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack?

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No, I don't know how

Cuz you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back

You held your hand so close
And I just can't push you away
I wished you could be my girl
But you're stuck in a grown up world

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No I don't know how

Cuz you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
And I don't know how

Cuz you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and I wish you'd come back

Don't Worry lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I called you up all night 'til mornin'
Left my house by noon today (and I saw you standing there)
No one spoke but we both listened
Heard every word you didn't say

And the sun shines all around us
Smells like summer's on the way (and I saw you standing there)
Tell the story of a lifetime
Tomorrow brings a brand new day

Don't worry 'bout today (and the words that you said)
Don't worry 'bout today (shake the world from your head)
Least for a while

You see, the days keep getting longer
But my nights seem longer still (and my TV's off the air)
Watching repeats on my ceiling
Another hour left to kill

Don't worry 'bout today (and the words that you said)
Don't worry 'bout today (shake the world from your head)
Least for a while

Girl Right Next To Me lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

You changed my face
I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow
Cuz that's the way it is

You said hello
Where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I been off to war
And I may never be the same again

I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
Cuz you're tossing and turning, you know, you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud

And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

I lie in my bed, you're running through my head
Going over and over and over the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap, I'd run like hell right back to you
Cuz I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone

And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
She's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

Domino lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

If you never had it then
You don't know how bad it is
There is nothing like it, well
Needless talk, then, I can tell but

Here comes the day I sit and wait... (Dominoes are falling still)
Oh, it's always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running... (As I know they always will)
Now I'm bummin' home again
Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way... (Dominoes, a test of will)
Just sit and wait
Always ponderin' my fate too late... (Dominoes)
And then the day goes

I bought them from you yesterday
Little buts til you ask me
No one minds, I can tell
Seems I've hid the ones you shall, but

Here comes the day I sit and wait... (Dominoes are falling still)
Oh, it's always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running... (As I know they always will)
Now I'm bummin' home again
Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way... (Dominoes, a test of will)
Just sit and wait
Always ponderin' my fate too late... (Dominoes)
And then the day goes

Dominoes are falling still... (Oh, every day)
As I know they always will... (I sit and wait)
Dominoes, a test of will... (That's why I'm pondering my fate too late)
Dominoes... (And then the day goes)

We Are The Normal lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

It's a beautiful day, I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us
Just the same, you know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious

It's a beautiful sight, I guess everybody's right
This day belongs to all of us
Even still, I like mine with a chill
That ain't so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

It's a beautiful life, and I've got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful sound
When my life comes crashin' down
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sin, and I'm doin' it again
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful life, and I've got it in my sights
Ain't that so obvious?

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
There's no reason why

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

String Of Lies lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I've got no politics, no influential friend or two
I've got ideas, but it's nothin' I picked up at school
I might be running, but I'm never running back to you

And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie

I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
You've got no power and my situation don't apply
You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine

And with your sugar-sweetend alibis, there was a truth I never knew
And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you

String of lies, it's always compromise with you
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you

And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie

String of lies, we always compromise for you
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you
String of lies, we always compromise for you

And here's a letter from the real world

Another Second Time Around lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Happy, smilin', cryin,
Outburst to my past.
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last.
And now I find myself a-tuggin' at your dress.
The fun of holdin' you down, or seein' you frown, is never gonna pass.

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go,
Grey like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know.
All our postcards full of things I won't forget,
And now it's comin' down, that laughing clown is all I ever get.

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya,
Another second time around.
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya,
Another second time around.

Couldn't help myself,
I felt like everything was gonna pass.
It was an awkward time,
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last.

And I didn't know exactly what to say,
'Bout the things you saw me do my evil way.
And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed,
Well I'm all tired out, so wired out, it's ringing in my head.

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya,
Another second time around.
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya,
Another second time around.
Another second time around
Another second time around

Stop The World lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

You need someone to hold you
You need somethin' that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
And you're holding on forever
But that something just ain't true
I'm just like you
And I know
It's what I'd do
Here I go

Cuz I couldn't stop the world, cuz I loved you
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to
I couldn't stop the world, and I won't
Cuz it ain't enough

You had another bad day
You let me know that you just can't take it
I've given up on you
You live in truth and I know I can't fake it

Cuz the stars you see on dirty sidewalks
And they ain't for wishin', ooh
They don't come true
And I know, it's what I'd do
Here I go

Cuz I couldn't stop the world, cuz I loved you
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to
I couldn't stop the world, and I won't
Cuz it ain't enough

Am I too young for the world?
I'm not too young for the world
And I can't change for the world
(I don't need to stop the world)
'Cause I don't care for the world
(I'm too young, I'm too young)
I don't make sense to the world
(I don't need to stop the world)
(I'm too young, I'm too young)
[fade out...]

Already There lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I look outside my window,e verything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out from snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking 'bout the things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple, getting up was fun

I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Turn around and face the clock
I sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by
I'm still growing up, my friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above, wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds will someday just collide

I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Just a boy who's young at heart, his smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife, never had to go astray
Happiness evolved, life was in full swing at 17
All the things he wanted were things he'd never seen

It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

On The Lie lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

He burned down the house one night
He had a loaded six-pack gun
He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop
You know, you never know when they'll come
She said every day above ground was another dream come true
He said I'd hang and swap clichés all night
But I'm not in love with you

And I never got serious
'Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie

He said, man you want to be Elvis
I said I ain't dying face down
He said you gotta die facing up in the world
Cuz there's too many holes around

He asked what was wrong with me
He said I looked like a Hollywood girl
I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man
Cuz it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world, and

And I never got serious
'Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie

On the lie, he was
On the lie
On the lie, she was
On the lie
On the lie, he was
On the lie
It's all been a stinkin' lie

Close Your Eyes lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I wish I had a saxophone
I'd play the blues 'til you came home
With a little sadness in your eyes

Now that all my time was spent
In the walk your heaven sent
Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried

Had a certain passion
And I had silly dreams
A look of vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
Oh, don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me

I wish I had a camera lens
To film the things my mind had said
Before they reached my mouth and got all bad

Looking at the skies of blue
All day long, I think of you
Even after all the shit we've been through

Had a certain passion
And I had silly dreams
A look of vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
Please don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
Oh, don't close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
Eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
Eyes to me

So Far Away lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Why do you stare me down?
Am I wrong?
Should I turn and kiss the ground?
And I never felt that way
I ain't the one and you know I don't come from such a place

And I didn't get those things
Those things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me
You said that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't know

And I hate your attitude
I ain't scared at all cuz it don't matter what you do
And I'll turn around to see the truth
You're tearing it down, yeah, you're bringing it down
And it's all on you

And I didn't get those things
Those things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me
You said that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't know

And I know
I don't know
(Rock and roll)
And I'll stay there
If you break enough glass and there's no one to hear
And your heart's full of hate cuz your mind's full of fear
Let it go

Oh, so far away
So far away
So far away
(Something I don't know)
Oh, so far away
So far away
So far away

Hold Me Up (1991)












Laughing lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I wake up, I'm staring at the clock
My belly hurts and my head is like a rock
I get up to see what I can see
Furthest I got was my black and white TV
Eyewitness News brought to you at noon
Oh my God, guess I got up too soon because

Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you

I didn't mean to wear this disguise
But I can't stand the look in my eyes
Oh, I didn't mean to lie
I was doing what I thought was right
Come on, walk right down the line
You'll be walking 'til the end of time because

Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you

Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you

Just The Way You Are lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I'm in love because I know you
And I'm sorry I don't show you
And if I find that you ain't by me
Afraid no one know the things you see

How could you believe in someone sorry-sad like me?
I know the deal and I thank you anyway
And if you leave, you know I'm crawlin' at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leanin' hard on you

But I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess it's just the way you are
Well, I guess it's just the way you are
Well, I guess it's just the way you are

And all the things that you don't show me
Like when you pretend that you don't know me
I waste a dime and I can't call you
I spend a lifetime if I fall for you

How could you believe in someone sorry-sad like me?
I know the deal and I thank you anyway
And if you leave, you know I'm crawlin' at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leanin' hard on you

But I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess it's just the way you are
Well, I guess it's just the way you are
Well, I guess it's just the way you are

Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up

So Outta Line lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I heard the floor creak, or so I thought
I had my head a-rubbin' on the ceiling
You said that indecision makes one weak
My indecision's suddenly been deepened

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside, there's snow
Been snow so long, you know
Just feel like lettin' go
So outta line

You've worked so hard for everything you've got
Ten minutes later, you're a loser
Count your blessings and the ones you love
At this point, we beggars can't be choosers

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside, there's snow
Been snow so long, you know
Just feel like lettin' go
So outta line

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside, there's snow
Been snow so long, you know
Just feel like lettin' go
So outta line

One day ain't forever
One day ain't forever

There You Are lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Give me a reason now that I can understand
Pick up the pieces now and put 'em in my hand
I've been up and down for you, my sufferin' extreme
I fell on my face for you, now I know what it means

And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there
There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

Yeah, you can run out west, forget you know my name
You say you got your shit together, but you ain't got no faith
Method in madness now, there's madness in my soul
I run from the darkness, now I ain't got no place to go

And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there
There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

There you are
There you are

You Know What I Mean lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

It's been a long, dark, lonely hall
Between the cracks, I can read the scrawl
It's written down in a crooked rhyme
You sold me out before my time, you know

But since then I been back down to the end
I can't believe the things you never said
I can't explain the words I never found
My whole world should come crashing down, you know

But you can't sell me out with everything you think about

I think back now I draw a blank, you know but
There ain't no need to dig the past, you know but
I don't wanna live my life in a day
I ain't got no need for this plastic cage

Cuz you don't think about anything I think about

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

But now you know for sure you're alive
Because you, you watched me leave before your eyes, you know I
I'm afraid to say your name, but I
I ain't afraid to share this blame because

You can't sell me out with everything you think about

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

It's been a long, dark, lonely hall
Between the cracks, I can read the scrawl
Find a place that feels like home, you know
And get some clue to where I'm going, you know but

You don't think about anything I think about

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

You know what I mean, oh no
You know what I mean, oh
You know what I mean, oh no
You know what I mean

Out Of The Red lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I ain't got no outfits to pick and choose
So I really ain't got that much to lose
Picture's gettin' fuzzy and it's stuck on channel three
And the whole thing's lookin' pretty silly to me
Fifty thousand more and I'm out of the red

Heavy metal thrash band, it's all a bunch of shit
People tryin' to name me while I'm tryin' to do my bit
I ain't got the patience or the time to waste
Call me a rock star, you can spit in my face
Gonna take a horse to drag me outta my bed

I'd rather hang with drunks than hang out with myself
Well, the booze is over there, take a glass off the shelf
If you ain't had enough by tomorrow at noon
We're gonna place a call to the boneyard crew
Went to sleep at home and woke up in a shed
Oh, son of a bitch!

Never Take The Place Of Your Man lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin', she knew he was gone to stay
Ten thirty five on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the fire, uh, she was lookin' alright

I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said
All she wanted was a good man who wanted to know if I thought I was qualified
I said, baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I can never take the place of your man

It hurt me so bad when I saw the tears in her eyes
She was all he ever wanted and now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn't stop cryin' she knew he was gone to stay

She asked me if we couldn't be friends and I said
Oh, honey baby, that's okay you know and I know, know, know you wouldn't be satisfied

I said, baby, don't waste your time
And I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

La la la oh oh woah
Never take the place of your man
That's all I need, girl
Is a one night, one night, one night stand
I don't wanna be like a steak in your mind
Oh, girl, if you need a friend I'm there by your side
Sha la la la, sha la la
Sha la la la, sha la la

Hey lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I thought about you just last Saturday
My voice got cracked, I didn't know what to say
Down in the shade, or maybe in the sun
And if you need it, I think I've got one

Where are you?
And what's on your mind?
Where are you?
Am I wasting my time?
Where are you?
And what's on your mind?
I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time.

I snuck out of work to see her smile
I'll hold her hostage for a little while
I wrote a letter, thought I'd let you know
I'm right behind you anytime you go.

Where are you?
And what's on your mind?
Where are you?
Am I wasting my time?
Where are you?
And what's on your mind?
I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time.

My mind got busy, 'round three a.m. or so
Crawled in your room through the back window
Hoped when you woke up, you wouldn't be too mad
I hope I never wake up your old man

Where are you?
And what's on your mind?
Where are you?
Am I wasting my time?
Where are you?
And what's on your mind?
I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time.

On Your Side lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I'm on a mission, baby,
I'm not hearin' what you're sayin'
Stop preaching at me now
I'm not a revelation,
Superstar or new sensation
I'm just hidin' away my frowns

Oh no
We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

Five a.m. I shut my eyes
Then my worries tranquilized
Don't think the morning comes too soon

If I don't see the morning,
That's okay, they're pretty boring
See you tomorrow afternoon

Oh no
We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

You're livin' in a trailer
Friends all think that you're a failure
But are you thinkin' for yourself?
You read the Sunday paper
Wife's pissed off cuz you ain't laid her
Rolling pennies for your wealth

Me too
We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

22 Seconds lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

[This song is sung by former Goo drummer, George Tutuska]

I feel so important today and I wish I didn't
I feel so important today and I wish I didn't

[laughs] Was I a little off-key?

Know My Name lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

What kind of situation have I brought upon myself?
Some kind of bad reaction, blamed it all on someone else

Oh well
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before

You got me laughing at me, laughing all by myself
I had a drink on Friday, heard the news from someone else

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before

You've got me running, running far from myself
You've got me coming, coming home to someone else

Oh well
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before

I tried to find the truth but every word I said came back

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before

Million Miles Away lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Friday night, I just got back
Had my eyes shut, was dreamin' 'bout the past
I thought about you while the radio played
I shoulda got loaded, some reason I stayed

I started drifting to a different place
I realized I was fallin' off the face of the world
And there was nothing there to bring you back

Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring you back today
Today, oh no

I took a ride way downtown
The streets were empty, there was no one around
I went to places that we used to go
Seen all the faces that we used to know

I'm at the wrong end of the looking-glass
I tried to hold onto the hand of the past and then you
And there's nothing there to bring you back

Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring you back today
Today, oh no

Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
You're just a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring you back today
Today-ay-ay, oh no!

Two Days In February lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

And the guy across the street

I hung your picture on the wall
But that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call
But that's all it is
I know you're livin' way out west
But I don't think that I confessed
Everything I feel

You say you got no faith in things that you can't see
Well, I'm sorry I ain't there with you, but you ain't here with me
And I'm down in all my fears
I ain't cryin' no tears over you

Cuz everything's wrong
But it's alright
Everything's wrong
Well, it's alright

You said that this is crazy, you're half a world away
Well, I'm sittin' here and thinkin', but I didn't know what to say
So I said something I can't touch, I always want way too much anyways

Cuz everything's wrong
But it's alright
Everything's wrong
Well, it's alright

I hung your picture on the wall, but that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call, but that's all it is
I know you're livin' way out west, don't get me wrong
I'm not impressed with you no more

Out Of Sight lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Out of my face
I don't know your name
As time goes by
You're the same

The last time that you saw me
I didn't even care
The next time that I saw you
It was me who stood and stared

I'm out of sight
You're out of mind
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

Hangin' in the bar
Loud rockin' noise
You have a Chevy
I guess it's your choice

You really thought you had me
Thought you put me in my place
You were super cool in high school
But now I'm in your face

I'm out of sight
You're out of mind
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

You tell me you got a wife
I heard she's fat
You got a kid
And I got a cat

You really thought you had me
Thought you put me in my place
You were super cool in high school
But now I'm in your face

I'm out of sight
You're out of mind
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

Up Yours lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Up yours
Stop your whine
Feelin' swell
And I'm doin' fine

Yeah, fuck your suicide
It's all bullshit cuz I tried
And it really don't impress me all that much

Up yours
What'd you find
Sit right down
I got time

And you say here comes the end
And you haven't got a friend
And I'm standing here just screaming at the wall

Up yours
Stop your whine
Whatcha ya got
I got mine

And you shake your stupid head
And you wish that you were dead
And I swear sometimes you're happier than me

And you know it's hard to be
All the things you want me to be
And you go and make it hard on me
But I swear that anything you could be, I could be, can't you see

Up yours
Got no mind
That's too bad
You got time

Yeah, fuck your silly game
Cuz it's driving me insane
And it really doesn't matter much to me

No Way Out lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

1... 2... 1, 2, 3, 4!

I've been around...And I realize it's always the same
All the time...And I realize it's all been unchanged
What I find...And you realize there's no one home
There's no way out...When you realize you're all alone

Some say, there's no way out
Here today, there's no way out

Every time I'm walking down by Delaware Park
You rarely hold my hand when it's after dark
And all of the places that we go and the things that we have seen

There's no way out
There's no way out

Some say...And you realized that time goes by
And I'm still in the way...And you realized you're still alive
Alive today...And you realize you're not gonna die
Ever the same...And you realize the sun goes by

Some say, there's no way out
Here today, there's no way out

Every time I come a-knockin' at your door
You tell me to turn away, pal you're too poor
I ain't a rich boy, I've heard about all that
All the places that I go it's ching ching ching

There's no way out
There's no way out

And I realize it's always the same
And I realize it's all been unchanged
And you realize there's no one home
When you realize you're all alone
(screaming throughout the above phrase)
Every time I'm waiting for you in the rain
My mom says our love is sunk in a God damn vein
I stand around and I think it's gonna work
But you look at me like I'm a jerk, oh!

There's no way out
There's no way out
There's no way out
There's no way out

7th Last Month lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

(Instrumental)

Love Dolls lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

I don't wanna lie around with this feeling anymore
Every time you push me you just push me out the door
And I don't wanna stand up, when I'm by your side
For you to make your silly mind, instead you won't

Laughing love doll
Boy, you're so proud
Love is sold out

Every time I look into your sad, pathetic face
I don't even wanna restore your faith in the human race
And I don't wanna stand up, around no more
For you to walk right out, walk right out, walk out the door

Laughing love doll
Boy, you're so proud
Love is sold out

Laughing love doll
Boy, you're so proud
Love is sold out

Sex Maggot lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Well I was hangin' around the railway station
My mind was insane from total degradation
Little boy blue was a tootin' his horn now
Scared those cows right out of the door now

I hear you screaming but you can't come in
Cuz I know that you're just a sex maggot!

Mommy and daddy used to play this game now
Told me boys and girls are really all the same now
I don't know the difference at the age of 21
Who's telling me, I don't like anyone, hah!

I hear you screaming but you can't come in, no, no,
Cuz I know, that you're just a sex maggot!

I hear you screaming but you can't be found
Cause I know, that you're a, you're a sex maggot!

Down On The Corner lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Early on the evening, just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind
Poor kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out and he knows they gonna start

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while
Poor boy brings the rhythm on his kalamazoo
And Willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo, hey!

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet

You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you got a nickel won't ya lay your money down
Over on the corner there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet

[fade out...]

Had Enough lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

If I leave today, don't know where to go that I can stay
I know what I need, but I won't follow, I can't lead

And when I stood there and I felt November chill
You crushed my heart, and I really lost my will
You think you understand the way it made me feel
I started to choke on you, cuz I know what you fear

Cuz I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it
Had enough, but you really can't see it
But you'll see it for the first time in your life

If you had a brain, you'd be smart enough to change
Watch yourself, the thoughts of you plague no one else

And I stood there and I felt November chill
You broke my heart, and I really lost my will
You try to understand the way you make me feel
I started to choke on you, and I know what you fear

Cuz I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it
Had enough, but you really can't see it
But you'll see it for the first time in your life

Cuz I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it
Had enough, but you really can't see it
But you'll see it for the first time in your life

Cuz I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it
Had enough, but you really can't see it
But you'll see it for the first time in your life

Road To Salinas lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Being afraid can be okay, if you're willing to let things go
If you'd lay me to die and try to learn what you don't know
I don't know why I drive behind the wheel
Sun's the sky, and I was

On the road to salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go, and I would always get back home

Took the time inside to find the boy inside my brain
Someone waited out on him and was trying to get away
I don't know why I feel the way I feel
Sun's in the sky, and I was

On the road to salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go, and I would always get back home

See myself in someone else, and I just don't know why
When I lay my head to sleep I lay awake and cry
I don't know why I drive behind the wheel
Sun's in the sky, and I was

On the road to salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go, and I would always get back home
