[Verse 1]
Yeah, it's Saturday night
Will I see you around?
I'm comin' to life
Didn't take a long, long time
Still where she was comin' from
Well, she took the long way around
And I've only come this far

[Chorus]
Now, nothing can change you
When you feel foreign to love
Your world has a strange view
Can you tell me things that you're dreaming of?

[Verse 2]
Stop fallin' in love
With everything that lets you down
There's someone above
And I know she wears glasses
Sometimes she says it helps her mood
I see her in the long ride home
I guess I never spoke too soon

[Chorus]
Now, nothing can change you
When you feel foreign to love
Your world has a strange view
Can you tell me things that you're dreaming of?

[Bridge]
You don't wanna get left behind
You wanna find some piece of mind
You say it takes a long time there
She was there, she was in the crowd

[Verse 3]
You went rollin' along
When everybody wants to ride
Now Joe's never home
Nothing at the tableside
Where everything is chained to you know that
You're wakin' up to die inside
Now there's nowhere left to go

[Chorus]
Now nothing can change you
When you feel foreign to love
Your world has a strange view
And you tell me things that you love

Now nothing can change you
When you feel foreign to love
Your world has a strange view
And you tell me things that you're dreaming of?

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.
