Song Description

He loves clichés - his girlfriend is sick of hearing them constantly, and ready to 'put on her walking shoes'! This is his song to keep her, but he just can't help it - the song is one cliché after another! He wants to quit talking in clichés, but he can't just 'stop on a dime' ...

Lyrics

My Clichés Just Don't Cut It Anymore

I was frightened to death when you swept me off my feet
That the writing was on the wall
It sent a shiver down my spine with gut wrenching pain
That had me by the balls

I love you more than life itself, but my clichés are wearing you thin
I can read between the lines
This is the quiet before the storm, before you blow your top
At the end of the day, it's just a matter of time

I want to let the cat out of the bag to tell you I'm head over heels
Like a kid in a candy store
But the cat's got my tongue with heart stopping fear
That my clichés just don't cut it anymore

There's plenty of fish in the sea, but you're the apple of my eye
And I want to take this tiger by the tail
Every dog has it day but time heals all wounds
We can right this ship, so baby let's set the sail

I want to let the cat out of the bag to tell you I'm head over heels
Like a kid in a candy store
But the cat's got my tongue with heart stopping fear
That my clichés just don't cut it anymore

Please don't slam that door on me, I can't stop on a dime
But I'll give it the old one two
I promise to quit, I'll put a lid on it
If you don't put on those walking shoes

I want to let the cat out of the bag to tell you I'm head over heels
Like a kid in a candy store
But the cat's got my tongue with heart stopping fear
That my clichés just don't cut it anymore

But the cat's got my tongue with heart stopping fear
That my clichés just don't cut it anymore
