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
