(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
 I'll try to make you think I have a big vocabulary
 By using words I find in Roget's New World Thesaurus
 I'll go to B. Dalton's and buy a rhyming dictionary
 And find neat words to use like crochet and brontosaurus
 I'll write great songs with words like potentate and oligarchy
 And show the world my social conscience I really care now
 My songs will top the charts my name will top the marquee
 To the oppressed I'll be an idol so don't despair now
 It's just another cliche
 I'll write a song about my love for all God's children
 Reach out and touch somebody's hand but please don't touch me
 These are the best days of our lives it won't get better
 If that's the truth then that's depressing I don't feel like rhyming
 Cliche
 Cliche
 Cliche
 Cliche...
 I'll write the songs I'll write the albums I'll write a remix
 I'll write and write until there's nothing that's left to write about
 And I'll use adverbs I'll even use a prefix
 I won't stop writing until my ideas run out
