Goo Goo Dollsis an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac. They are perhaps most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (vocals, bass) and Mike Malinin (drums). Early in their career, the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of the Replacements; however, the band refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become one of the most popular adult alternative rock bands of the latter half of the '90s, selling millions of records to audiences largely unfamiliar with their inspirations. That's no knock on the band, either -- their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop.

Cuz You’re Gone Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
You whispered in my mouth,
And I spit you words right back.
How good do you think Ill look,
When the words start to break and crack.
You beat your head upon your wall,
You disconnect yourself from it all.
Cuz you know that youre so beautiful and so untouchable,
And I want to get in so bad, and I dont know how.
Cuz your gone, and you aint coming back.
Yeah youre gone, and you aint coming back.
You held your hand so close,
And I just cant push you away.
I wished you could be my girl,
But youre stuck in your own world.
(repeat second)
(repeat third)
(repeat second)
(repeat third)
Yeah youre gone, and I wish youd come back.
