Hook |
It doesn’t matter what I say |
So long as I sing with inflection |
That makes you feel I’ll convey |
Some inner truth or vast reflection |
But I’ve said nothing so far |
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes |
And it don’t matter who you are |
If I’m doing my job, it’s your resolve that breaks |
Because the Hook brings you back |
I ain’t tellin' you no lie |
The Hook brings you back |
On that you can rely |
There is something amiss |
I am being insincere |
In fact I don’t mean any of this |
Still my confession draws you near |
To confuse the issue I’ll refer |
To familiar heroes from long ago |
No matter how much Peter loved her |
What made the Pan refuse to grow |
Was that the hook that brings you back |
I ain’t telling you no lie |
The hook brings you back |
On that you can rely |
Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in |
If you’re Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn |
Make a desperate move or else you’ll win |
And then begin to see what you’re doing to me |
This MTV is not for free |
It’s so PC it’s killing me |
So, desperately, I sing to thee of love |
Sure, but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self |
And I can’t keep these feelings on the shelf |
I’ve tried -- well, no, in fact, I lied |
Could be financial suicide but I’ve got too much pride inside |
To hide or slide I’ll do as I’ll decide |
And let it ride until I’ve died |
And only then shall I abide this tide |
Of catchy little tunes |
Of hip three minute ditties |
I wanna bust all your balloons |
I wanna burn all of your cities to the ground |
I’ve found I will not mess around |
Unless I play, then hey, I will go on all day |
Hear what I say, I have a prayer to pray |
That’s really all this was |
And when I’m feeling stuck and need a buck |
I don’t rely on luck because |
The hook brings you back |
I ain’t telling you no lie |
The hook |
On that you can rely |
