[Verse 1]
I may put you on a pedestal
But I'm not your fall from grace
Maybe I enjoy the punishment
Maybe I enjoy the chase
You say you love me in the darkness
But in the day I am denied

[Refrain]
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime

[Verse 2]
It doesn't really matter
If I only fill the space
Of someone you've not forgotten
Of someone who's gone away
Yeah, you lead me to your doorstep
But you keep me locked outside

[Refrain]
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime
Baby, it's alright
Use me anytime

[Verse 3]
When your life is just confusion
And you're crashing to the ground
And you need someone to catch you
And then you finally figure it out
That it was me that held you hostage
That is was me that held the key
That it was me that made you happy
That it was me that set you free

[Refrain]
Baby, it's alright
Use me anytime

[Verse 4]
When there's no one on your doorstep
When there's no one to deny
When there's no one in the darkness
I think you'll finally realize
That it was me that held you hostage
That is was me that held the key
That it was me that made you happy
That it was me that set you free

[Chorus]
Baby, it's alright
Use me anytime

[Outro]
Baby, it's alright
Baby, it's alright
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime
Baby, it's alright
Baby, it's alright
You can use me anytime
Baby, it's alright

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.
