Blues Traveler Hook 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
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 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 well I have too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride 'til 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 of all 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 brings you back
On that you can rely
