[Verse 1]
Out of my face
I don't know your name
As time goes by
You're the same
The last time that you saw me
I didn't even care
The next time that I saw you
It was me who stood and stared

[Chorus]
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

[Verse 2]
Hanging in the bar
Loud rocking noise
You have a Chevy
I guess it's your choice
You really thought you had me
Thought you put me in my place
You were super cool in high school
But now I'm in your face

[Chorus]
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

[Verse 3]
You tell me you got a wife
I heard she's fat
You got a kid
And I got a cat
You really thought you had me
Thought you put me in my place
You were super cool in high school
But now I'm in your face

[Chorus]
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

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.
