[Verse 1]
It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up 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
[Chorus]
Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Was that the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
[Harmonica Solo]
It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up 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
[Verse 3]
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'll sing to thee of
love. Sure but also 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've lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside to
hide or slide I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide
this tide of catchy little tunes
Or hip three minute ditties
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of 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...
[Chorus]
The hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
