Ain’t That UnusualThe Goo Goo Dolls

Released: March 14, 1995

Songwriter: Robby Takac John Rzeznik

[Verse 1]
Could you talk to me
Honestly
'Cause I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
'Cause all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made-for-TV movie
And I just blew my line

[Chorus]
Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?

[Verse 2]
Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared, now
Now what's that supposed to mean?
I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
It's something that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme

[Chorus]
Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?

[Verse 3]
See I'd love to be you
At least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me
You're everything I want and haven't got
I'm sick of everything I'm not
Put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind

[Chorus]
Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?

The Goo Goo Dolls

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.
