Blues Traveler Hook (acoustic) Lyrics

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 & I can keep it up for as long as it takes
& it don't matter who you are, if I'm doing my job then 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 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 feeling 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 till until I've died
And only then shall I abide by this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute diddys
I wanna bust all your ballons
I wanna burn of all your cities to the ground
But 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

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