The Goo Goo Dolls

[Verse 1]
The crowded room is full of empty faces
The deepest conversation full of lies
Another night with all my friends
The kind you never see again
I wonder if they'll see through my disguise

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I want to say
And I can't hold back
And I might be wrong
But it's all I have

[Chorus]
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
A million miles
But I will find you
So take me home

[Verse 2]
It's 3 A.M. and I can't sleep without you
I think I found the perfect words to say
Satellite transmits my voice
Sometimes we don't have a choice
I wake you up from half a world away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I try so hard
Try to be so strong
But you see the cracks
My defenses gone

[Chorus]
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
A million miles
But I will find you

[Instrumental Interlude]

Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Come take me home tonight

[Outro]
Satellite transmits my voice
Sometimes we don't have a choice
I wake you up from half a world away
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
I'm holding on
'Til I can find you

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.
