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, 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 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 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 diddys
 I wanna bust all your balloons
 I wanna burn 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
 On that you can rely
 
 It doesn't matter what I say
