[Chorus 1]
Up yours
Stop your whine
Feeling swell
And I'm doing fine

[Bridge]
Yeah, fuck your suicide
It's all bullshit cuz I tried
And it really don't impress me all that much

[Chorus 2]
Up yours
What'd you find
Sit right down
I got time

[Verse 1]
And you say here comes the end
And you haven't got a friend
And I'm standing here just screaming at the wall

[Chorus 3]
Up yours
Stop your whine
Whatcha ya got
I got mine

[Verse 2]
And you shake your stupid head
And you wish that you were dead
And I swear sometimes you're happier than me
And you know it's hard to be
All the things you want me to be
And you go and make it hard on me
But I swear that anything you could be, I could be, can't you see

[Chorus 4]
Up yours
Got no mind
That's too bad
You got time

[Outro]
Yeah, fuck your silly game
Cuz it's driving me insane
And it really doesn't matter much to me

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.
