(Just Another) Just Another Cliche

I'd look into your eyes but that's a cliche

I'd offer you the world but that's no fun

We could walk along the beach leaving our footprints in the sand

If only you'd stop saying that's been done

If only you'd stop saying that's been done

Just for once I'd like to write a little cliche

Or perhaps I'd steal a poem who's to know

I'd compose a worthy lyric and perform the perfect song

But somehow all my influences show

But somehow all my influences show

I've got so much to say and all of it's cliche

So please don't say you've heard this one before

I'd like so much to speak but my words are not unique

So kiss goodbye creative metaphor

I awoke alone at four in the morning

Feeling like a stranger in a stranger land

Baby babe love honey sugar girl now momma don't you cry

We can make it if you'll only take my hand

We can make it if you'll only take my hand

I've got so much to say and all of it's cliche

So please don't say you've heard this one before

I'd like so much to speak but my words are not unique

So kiss goodbye creative metaphor

I think it's time I wrote a song about my girlfriend

Where I can tell her that I love her and pretend to mean it

Or I can talk about my vision of the world's end

Though I know you won't believe me I swear I seen it

Maybe I say your eyes are blue as the ocean

Even though they're kind of brownish-green or hazel

Or I can offer you my infinite devotion

Parsley sage rosemary thyme basil

It's just another cliche

I know this topic's far less than original

But won't you please give me the benefit of the doubt

For if it's true that there is nothing that has not been said before

Then you already know what this song's all about

You already know what this song's all about

I've got so much to say and all of it's cliche

So please don't say you've heard this one before

I'd like so much to speak but my words are not unique

So kiss goodbye creative metaphor
