Cliché

I've got a reputation of being a man with a gift of words

Romantic poetic type or so they say

But I find it hard to express the way I feel about you

Without getting involved with the old clichés

In the old clichés, it's an old cliché

This song's begun so many times, but never in a way

That you won't consider to be an old cliché

I want to say that I need you, I miss you when you're away

And how it seemed like fate - oh, here we go - the same old clichés

It's the same old clichés

It's not that I'm embarrassed or shy, well, you know me toowell

But I want to make this song special in a way that you can tell

That it's solely for you and nobody else

For my best friend, my lover, when I need help - cliché

Everything I want to say to you is wrapped up in an old cliché

I'd waited so long to find you, I'd been through the heartbreakand pain

But of course you already know that, 'cause you've been throughthe same

That's why I'm trying to say with my deepest sincerity

That's why I'm finding it comes down to basic simplicities

The best way is with an old cliché

It's simply the best way, is with an old cliché

Always the best way is with an old cliché

I'll leave it to the best way, it's an old cliché

I love you
