[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus][x2]
I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothin's come along, yeah

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
