The Goo Goo Dolls • A Boy Named Goo
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Get lost and thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans
That 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

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

You 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
Mmm, mmm, mmm

And I won't tell 'em your name...

Mmmmmm

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

Naked (03:45)
The Goo Goo Dolls • A Boy Named Goo
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
The 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
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
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone

Ain't That Unusual (03:20)
The Goo Goo Dolls • A Boy Named Goo
Could you talk to me
Honestly
Cause I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
Cause 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
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
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
What's that supposed to mean

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

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
And 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

And everyhing, I want haven't got
I'm sick of everything now I'm not
I put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
Ain't that unusual?

So Long (02:35)
The Goo Goo Dolls • A Boy Named Goo
Don't take much looking back to know I took my coffee black then
Nothings different now but nothing 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
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

Don't take much looking back to know I faked that heart attack then
And nothings different now but nothing seems the same and it's alright
You always spoke the truth from circa disco abba boots and
All that showbiz talk we all had a laugh about it
I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all

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

I gotta get back to where I belong

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

Impersonality (02:41)
The Goo Goo Dolls • A Boy Named Goo
When I was three feet tall
I loved them all
And lived life for myself
Falling down for laughs
Your photograph
Some puppets made of felt

Watching life in Oz Thanksgiving eve on grandma's old TV
Dancing roundabout I'd twist and shout for everyone to see

Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me

Momma'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 you
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 realities

Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me

Disconnected (03:02)
The Goo Goo Dolls • A Boy Named Goo
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
Cause, I've been disconnected
someone pulled the plug
oh you're so distant won't you 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 found another
someone to take your place
now if you don't mind
just get out of my face

Burnin' Up (02:30)
The Goo Goo Dolls • A Boy Named Goo
Said you're burnin up inside, no one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized manual from hell
Life seems 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 cause 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 and you hurt me

Come and take my hand tonight I'll show you where to start
Cause every word that left your lips 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 and you hurt my eyes

Only One (03:20)
The Goo Goo Dolls • A Boy Named Goo
I'll open up my head awhile
It's been dead for years
I must have 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 talking to myself again
I'll just start a fight
Nobody can prove me wrong
I'm right
Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers will 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
Turning inside out again
'Cause fucking up takes practice
I feel I'm well rehearsed
Because the past is a bully and the future's even worse
You tell me what you fear 'cause 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 smoking dope singer
Swinging from a rope singer

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

Flat Top (04:30)
The Goo Goo Dolls • A Boy Named Goo
Flat top intervention
Bringing 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
Sleeping on the white house lawn ain't never changed a thing
Look at all the washed out hippie dreams

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

Tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on tv

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

And my dirty dreams all come alive
On my TV screen
And assassination 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

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