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 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
