The Goo Goo Dolls

[Verse 1]
Walking over the same old grass
Trying to stay off the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize

[Chorus]
Artie, take a look at me
And I want to think about all the little things
That piss you off about me

[Verse 2]
Hey there man
I'll take and scratch your cat
But I'll apologize for all the little things
That piss you off about me
Walking over the same old ground
Thinking 'bout all the things we found
I don't want to let it bring me down
I'm wanting out of this dirty town

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Walking over the same old grass
Trying to stay on the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize
Walking over the same old ground
Thinking 'bout all the things we found
I don't want to let it bring me down
I'm wanting out of this dirty town

[Outro]
You - you... no, no
Don't do, don't do, don't do anything, anything irrational
Here's the starting line
What happened?

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.
