Well I've been tripping all over my tongue
Trying to find the right words
Something new and unpretentious
Something you have never heard
I don't want to say "I love you"
Even though that's what I mean
How can I surprise you
When you know this whole routine

Chorus:

Stop me if you've heard this one
You can cut in any time
If this sounds too familar I'd appreciate some sign
You don't have to bear with me if it's already been done
Don't let me make a fool of myself
Stop me if you've heard this one


If there's nothing new under the sun
I guess I'm wasting my time
Trying hard to win you over with some undiscovered, magic line

Chorus

Bridge:

I confess I've got nothing original
Just a handful of cliches I hate to say
It's no joke when all you have is old material
And you make up your mind to put your heart on the line anyway

Chorus
