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.

Goo Goo Dolls
Gone away
Who knows where you been
You take all your lies
And wish them all away
I somehow doubt
Well ever be the same
Theres too much poison
And confusion on your face
Can you feel it
I didnt mean it
Can I see you
What are we doin
I think I love you
But I aint sayin nothin you dont know
Hold on dreamaway
Youre my sweet charade
Take your time
Move yourself to me
Yeah I can take your lies
Until you fall away
You know Im lost
Hiding in your bed
No I dont think its wrong
Its just gone to my head
Can you feel it
I didnt mean it
Can I see you
What are we doin
I think I love you
But I aint sayin nothin you dont know
Hold on dreamaway
Youre my sweet charade
Hey watcha do to me
Would you come back to me
Yeah I cant do another day
Im not certain of it anyway
Im not messin with another life
Can I get on without you
Tell me lies
That you
Know I need
Hold on dreamaway
Youre my sweet charade
Hold on dreamaway
Youre my sweet charade
