Goo Goo Dolls - Girl Right Next to Me | Live @ The Metro (1993)

Goo Goo Dolls performing Girl Right Next to Me live at The Metro! The Goo Goo Dolls were formed in Buffalo, NY, in 1985 by guitarist/vocalist Johnny Rzeznik, bassist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska, initially under the name the Sex Maggots. Originally a cover band with a taste for power pop and classic rock & roll, the group soon began writing its own songs. Their early sound recalled the Replacements’ origins as a bratty punk band – melodic, snotty, and a little bit thrashy. That sound was the reason the band attracted the interest of the heavy metal label Metal Blade, which issued their debut album in 1987 (known either as The Goo Goo Dolls or First Release). Released in 1989, Jed continued in a similar vein; the college radio breakthrough came with 1990′s Hold Me Up. Check out the lyrics to Girl Right Next to Me: You changed my face I think I like it better now It doesn't matter anyhow 'cause that's the way it is You said hello Where the hell you been? I said I feel like I been off to war And I may never be the same again I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night 'cause you're tossing and turning, you know, you know it ain't right I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud [Chorus] And when you dream, seventeen I ain't there, so I don't care 'cause in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three And she's the girl right next to me See that girl right next to me I lie in my bed, you're running through my head Going over and over and over the things that you said I'm caught in the trap, I'd run like hell right back to you 'cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone [Chorus: x2] She's the girl right next to me See that girl right next to me To find more content treats like this join JBTV social channels at: Website: http://JBTVMusic.com Facebook:   / jbtvmusic   Twitter:   / jbtv   Instagram:   / jbtvstudio   Tumblr:   / jbtvonline
