Sugar Ray is an American rock band formed in 1986. The band, starting off more as a funk metal band, first gained fame in 1997 with their release of the song "Fly". This song's success, coupled with its pop rock sound that was quite different from the rest of their material at the time, led the band to change to a mainstream, pop music style. Subsequent albums shared this similar style, and the band landed a number of hits with "Every Morning" and "Someday" from 14:59 and "When It's Over" from their self-titled album.
The members of the band grew up in Orange County. Rodney Sheppard played in a number of reggae bands, including working with future Good Charlotte drummer Dean Butterworth. Prior to Sugar Ray, in the late 1980s, Rodney Sheppard and Stan Frazier had been together in a band under the name The Tories. Later additions Murphy Karges, Craig Bullock and Mark McGrath changed the band's name to Shrinky Dinx (after initially Shrinky Dinks). After signing with Atlantic Records, the name was changed to Sugar Ray upon threat of lawsuit from the Milton Bradley Company, maker of the Shrinky Dinks toy.

I woke up late again this morning
It's Just another morning lyin there for me
In your mind your always runnin
Keep on runnin, run away from me
I spend all my time chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I spend all my time chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
Said you'd stay & make it better
We'd stay together
Is what you said to me
But you left without a warning
Now another morning is lyin there for me
I spend all my time chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I spend all my time chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
And everytime that I try to get to you
There's nothing I can say
We tried but it seems there's nothing left to do
But I'll wait anyway
I spend all my time chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I spend all my time chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I know I know I know
Whatever it takes now
I'll make no mistakes now
Whatever it takes now
I know I know I know
Whatever it takes now
I'll make no mistakes now
Whatever it takes now
I spend all my time chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I spend all my time chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I spend all my time chasin' you around
I know I know I know
I spend all my time chasin' you around
I know I know I know
