"Laughing"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[3:41]
I wake up, I'm staring at the clock
My belly hurts and my head is like a rock
I get up to see what I can see
Furthest I got was my black and white TV
Eyewitness sews brought to you at noon
Oh my God
Guess I got up too soon
Because, oh I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you
I didn't mean to wear this disguise
But I can't stand the look in my eyes
Oh, I didn't mean to lie
I was doing what I thought was right
Come on walk right down the line
You'll be walking til the end of time
Because oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you

"Just the Way You Are"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:08]
I'm in love because I know you
And I'm sorry I don't show you
And if I find that you ain't by me
I'm afraid no one will know the things you see
How could you believe in someone sorry sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyway
And if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you
And I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess that's just the way you are
And all the things you don't show me
Like when you pretend that you don't know me
I wasted a dime and I can't call you
I'll spend a lifetime if I fall for you
How could you believe in someone sorry sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyway
And if you leave you know I'm crawling at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you
And I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess that's just the way you are
And I guess that's just the way you are
Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up

"So Outta Line"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[3:22]
I heard the floor creak or so I thought
I had my head rubbing on the ceiling
They say that indecision makes one weak
My indecisions suddenly been deepened
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like letting go
So outta line
You've worked so hard for everything you've got
Ten minutes later you're a loser
Count your blessings and the ones you love
At this point we beggars can't be choosers
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like letting go
So outta line
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like letting go
So outta line
One day ain't forever
One day ain't forever

"There You Are"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:10]
Give me a reason now
That I can understand
Pick up the pieces now and
Put them in my hand
I been up and down for you
My suffering extreme
I fell on my face for you
Now and I know what it means
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and then
There you are
There you are
You are
There you are
Yeah you can run out west
Forget you know my name
You say you got your shit together
But you ain't got no faith
Method in madness now
There's madness in my soul
I run from the darkness now
I got no place to go
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and then
There you are
There you are
You are
There you are
There you are
There you are
You are
There you are
There you are
There you are
There you are
There you are

"You Know What I Mean"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:22]
It's been a long dark lonely hall
Between the cracks I can read the scrawl
It's written down in a crooked rhyme
That sold me out before my time, you know...
But since then I been back down to the edge
I can't believe the things you never said
I can't explain the words I never found
My whole world should come crashing down, you know...
But you can't sell me out
With everything you think about
I think back now I draw a blank, you know that...
There ain't no need to dig in the past, you know I...
I don't wanna live my life in a day
I ain't got no need for this plastic cage
Because you don't think about
Anything I think about
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
Now you know for sure you're alive, because you...
You watched her leave before your eyes, you know...
Now I'm afraid to say your name, but I ...
I ain't afraid to share the blame, because you...
Because you can't sell me out
With everything you think about
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
It's been a long dark lonely hall
Between the cracks I can read the scrawl
Find a place that feels like home, you know...
And get some clue to where I'm going, you know...
But you don't think about
Anything I think about
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
Oh no
You know what I mean, oh
You know what I mean
No, no
You know what I mean

"Out of the Red"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[1:39]
I ain't got no outfits to pick and choose
So I ain't really got that much to lose
Picture's getting fuzzy and it's stuck on channel 3
And the whole thing's looking pretty silly to me
50,000 more and I'm out of the red
Heavy metal thrash band, it's all a bunch of shit
People trying to name me while I'm trying to do my bit
I ain't got the patience or the time to waste
Call me a rock star you can spit in my face
Gonna take a horse to drag me outta my bed
I'd rather hang with drunks than hang out with myself
The booze is over there, take a glass off the shelf
If you ain't had enough by tommorow at noon
We're gonna place a call to the Boneyard Crew
Went to sleep at home and woke up in a shed
(Oh... son of a bitch)

"Never Take the Place of Your Man"
Written by Prince, sung by Lance Diamond
[3:53]
It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop crying, she knew he was gonna stay
Ten-thirty-five on a lonely Friday night
She was standing by the fire, ooh, she was looking alright
I asked if she wanted to dance and she said
All she wanted was a good man
And wanted to know if I thought I was qualified
I said, baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified for one-night stands
But I could never take the place of your man
It hurt me so bad when I saw there were tears in her eye
She was all I ever wanted, and now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn't stop crying, she knew he was gonna stay
She asked if we could be friends
And I said oh honey baby that's okay
You know and I know, know, know you wouldn't be satisfied
I said, baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified for one-night stands
But I could never take the place of your man
I may be qualified for one-night stands
Never take the place of your man
I may be qualified for one-night stands
But I could never take the place of you man
Never take the place of your man
That's all I need, girl
One-night, one-night, one-night stands
I don't wanna be left stayin' in your life
Oh girl, if you need a friend I'm there by your side
(Sha la la la...)

"Hey"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac and Johnny
Rzeznik
[2:51]
I thought about you just last Saturday
My voice got cracked I didn't know what to say
Down in the shade or maybe in the sun
If you need it I think I got one
Where are you?
And what is on your mind?
Where are you?
Am I wasting my time?
Where are you?
And what is on your mind?
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time
I snuck out of work to see her smile
I'll hold her hostage for a little while
I wrote a letter thought I'd let you know
I'm right behind you anytime you go
Where are you?
And what is on your mind?
Where are you?
Am I wasting my time?
Where are you?
And what is on your mind?
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time
My mind got busy 'bout 3 a.m. or so
Crawled in your room through the back window
Hoped when you woke up you wouldn't be too mad
I hope I never wake up your old man
Where are you?
And what is on your mind?
Where are you?
Am I wasting my time?
Where are you?
And what is on your mind?
I just want to know if I'm wasting my time

"On Your Side"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[3:05]
I'm on a mission baby
I'm not hearing what you're saying
Stop preaching at me now
I'm not a revalation
Superstar or new sensation
I'm just hiding away my frowns
Oh no
We don't see eye to eye
(On your side)
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
(On your side)
I'm on your side
5 a.m. I shut my eyes
Then my worries tranquilize
Don't think the morning comes too soon
If I don't see that morning that's OK
They're pretty boring
See you tomorrow afternoon
Oh no
We don't see eye to eye
(On your side)
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
(On your side)
I'm on your side
We don't see eye to eye
(On your side)
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
(On your side)
I'm on your side
You're living in a trailer
Friends all think that you're a failure
But are you thinking for yourself
You read the Sunday paper
Wife's pissed off cuz you ain't laid her
Rolling pennies for your wealth
Me too
We don't see eye to eye
(On your side)
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
(On your side)
I'm on your side
We don't see eye to eye
(On your side)
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
(On your side)
I'm on your side
We don't see eye to eye
(On your side)
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
(On your side)
I'm on your side
We don't see eye to eye
(On your side)
I'm on your side...

"Know My Name"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:42]
What kind of situation
Have I brought upon myself
Some kind of bad reaction
Blamed it all on someone else
Oh well
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
You got me laughing at me
Laughing all about myself
I had a drink last Friday
Heard the news from someone else
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
You got me running
Running far from myself
You got me coming
Coming home to someone else
Oh well
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
I tried to find the truth but every word I had came back
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cuz I ain't never seen you before

"Million Miles Away"
Written by Case, Aikes, Fradkin, sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[2:45]
Friday night, I just got back
I had my eyes shut, was dreamin' 'bout the past
I thought about you while the radio played
I should've got loaded, some reason I stayed
I started drifting to a different place
I realized I was falling off the face of the world
And there was nothing there to bring us back
Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring us back today
Today, oh no
I took a ride, I went downtown
The streets were empty there was no one around
I went to places where we used to go
Seen all the faces that we used to know
I'm at the wrong end of the looking glass
I try to hold on to the hand and of the past and to you
And there was nothing there to bring us back
Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring us back today
Today, oh no
Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
You're just a million miles away
A million miles away
And there was nothing there to bring us back today
Today, hey, hey, oh no

"Two Days in February"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:17]
Dedicated to Cheif Dog
Take 22, copy 1
And the guy across the street
I hung your picture on the wall
And that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call
And that's all it is
I know you're living way out west
And I don't think that I confessed
Everything I feel
You say you got no faith
In things that you can't see
Well I'm sorry I ain't there with you
But you ain't here with me
Now I'm down in all my fears
But I ain't cryin' no tears over you
Cuz everything's wrong
Well it's all right
Everything's wrong
Well it's all right
You said that this is crazy
You're a half a world away
Well I'm sitting and I'm thinking
But I didn't know what to say
So I said somthing I can't touch
I always want way too much anyway
Cuz everything's wrong
Well it's all right
Everything's wrong
Well it's all right
I hung your picture on the wall
And that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call
And that's all it is
I know you're living way out west
Don't get me wrong I'm not impressed
With you... no more
