Blues Traveler - Hook

It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel
that I'll convey
Some inner truth of
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 a miss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I 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 brings you back
I ain't tellin' 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 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 tellin' you no lie The hook
On that you can rely

It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel
that I'll convey
Some inner truth of
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 a miss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I 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 brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Suck it in suck it in suck it in
