I'm feeling so tired can't understand it
Just had a fortnights sleep
I'm feeling strong, oh, so distracted
Ain't touched a thing all week
I'm feeling drunk, yes I am, juiced up 'n' sloppy
Ain't touched a drink all night
I'm feeling hungry, can't see the reason
Just had a horse meat pie
Yeah, when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog
Yeah, when you lay me out
My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum
You got to mix it child
You got the fix, this must be love
It's a bitch
Yeah, you got to mix it child
You got the fix, this must be love
It's a bitch, alright
Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a stud
Kick with the girls all night
Sometimes I'm so shy, got to be worked on
Don't have no bark or bite
Yeah, when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog
Yeah, when you lay me out
My heart is pumping louder than a big bass drum, alright
You know what I want, baby
I said, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Wow baby

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.
