The Goo Goo Dolls

Songwriter: Robby Takac John Rzeznik

[Verse 1]
You're liking what I say
Guess I was afraid you'd run away now
I'm loyal like a stray
Never going to turn and run away now
A passion junkie's fix is never satisfied
You're never going to break his heart so have some fun abuse it
Strange Love
You're a Strange One

[Verse 2]
You washed away your yesterday
I saw you cleaning up
A bucket full of doubts
And a little bit of power grabbing
When it's all done
What are you going to do
With you
A passion junkie's dog ain't got a collar on
He's never going to break so go ahead and shake him

[Chorus]
Strange Love
Breaks Us Down
Strange Love
Though nothing's going to break us now

[Bridge]
And you're acting suprised
Oh, all of the time
Into your charms
Slips my life

[Chorus]

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.
