You Never KnowThe Goo Goo Dolls

Songwriter: Robby Takac

Producer: The Goo Goo Dolls

[Verse 1]
Ya never know
Some folks think the world just moves too slow
But was it you?
Who told me I'm your everything

[Chorus]
You hit me like I never felt before
(Hit me like I never felt before)
Hit me like a sucker punch, you're rotten to the core
You know you hit me like I never felt before
Silly for the last time

[Verse 2]
You never take
A promise from a man who sheds his skin
You had to wait
For my achin' heart to break

[Chorus]
You hit me like I never felt before
(Hit me like I never felt before)
Hit me like a sucker punch, you're rotten to the core
You know you hit me like I never felt before
Silly for the last time

[Bridge]
Now everyone gets angry
And I feel it when you're holdin' me
In the right place, at the right time, to the right degree
It's a breeding ground
For the pain I've found
From dealin' with your scene
And you know that it ain't easy
(That ain't easy)
(That ain't easy)
(That ain't easy)

[Outro]
Hit me like I never felt before
(Hit me like I never felt before)
Hit me like I never felt before
(Hit me like I never felt before)
I'm silly for the last time

The Goo Goo Dolls

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.
