Cliché lyrics

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

a romantic poetic type... or so they say,

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

without getting involved in the old clichés.

It's an old cliché, it's an old cliché.

This song's begun so many times but never

in a way that you won't consider it 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... it's the same old cliché.

It's the same old cliché.

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

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

that it's solely for you and for nobody else,

it's for my best friend, it's for my lover... it's for when I need help...

Cliché, oh cliché - cliché?

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

I've waited so long to find you, I've been through the heartbreak and the pain,

but of course you already know that because you've been through the 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!
