The Goo Goo Dolls

Met on the dance floor of the Palais-de-Dance
Feeling kinda lonely thought I'd take a chance
I never thought it would turn out like this
Another case of hit or miss
I gave you everything that money could buy
Things for your wardrobe, things to get you high
I never wanted you to bring it back
I didn't see you stab me in the back

Another hit or miss
Another hit or miss
Another case of hit or miss
Another hit or miss
Another hit or miss
And I was looking for a kiss

When you were fallen I put up with a lot
I took your cheating, I took all you got
The sun was setting for what he had got
You took my money, spent the wholе damn lot

Another hit or miss
Another hit or miss
Another casе of hit or miss
Another hit or miss
Another hit or miss
And I was looking for a kiss

Why does it always end like this
Why does it always end like this

Another hit or miss
Another hit or miss
Another case of hit or miss
Another hit or miss
Another hit or miss
And I was looking for a kiss

Don't feel so beaten. don't you feel so down
About the rumors that you put around
I think I'll call this girl who lives nearby
Take her down have another try

Another hit or miss
Another hit or miss
Another case of hit or miss
Another hit or miss
Another hit or miss
And I was looking for a kiss

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.
