The Goo Goo Dolls

[Verse 1]
If I leave today, don't know where to go that I can stay
I know what I need, but I won't follow, I can't lead
And when I stood there and I felt November chill
You crushed my heart, and I really lost my will
You think you understand the way it made me feel
I started to choke on you, because I know what you fear

[Chorus]
Because I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it
Had enough, but you really can't see it
But you'll see it for the first time in your life

[Verse 2]
If you had a brain, you'd be smart enough to change
Watch yourself, the thoughts of you plague no one else
And I stood there and I felt November chill
You broke my heart, and I really lost my will
You try to understand the way you make me feel
I started to choke on you, and I know what you fear

[Chorus][x3]

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.
