Blues Traveler - Hook Lyrics

It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing withinflection
That makes you feel I'll convey
Someinner truth or vast reflection
But I've said nothingso 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 myjob then it's your resolve that breaks

Becausethe hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you nolie
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 confessiondraws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
Tofamiliar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peterloved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow

Wasthat the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' youno lie
The hook brings you back
On that you canrely

Suck it in suck it in suck it in
Ifyou're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperatemove 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 Ising to thee
Of love
Sure but also rage and hate andpain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelingon the shelf
I've tried well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much prideinside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'lldecide and let it ride till until I've died
And onlythen shall I abide by this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute diddys
I wanna bust all yourballons
I wanna burn of all your cities to the ground
But I've found
I will not mess around
Unless Iplay then hey
I will go on all day
Hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all thiswas
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
Idon't rely on luck because

Because the hookbrings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
