[Verse 1]
You're cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You're monochrome, delirious
You're nothing that you seem
I'm drowning in your vanity
Your laugh is a disease
You're dirty and you're sweet
You know, you're everything to me

[Chorus]
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

[Verse 2]
I want to kick at the machine
That made you piss away your dreams
And tear down your defenses
'Til there's nothing there but me
You're angry when you're beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I'm drowning in your dizzy noise
I want to feel you scream

[Chorus]
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

[Outro]
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

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.
