Hook Lyrics - Four - Blues Traveler

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 diddies 

I wanna bust all your balloons 

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 the hook brings you back 

I ain't tellin' you no lie 

The hook 

On that you can rely
