#CHORUS
(Buh, buh, buh, baby, let’s be cliché)
(Fly like eagles to love’s mountain top)
(To greet each golden day)
Then we’ll wrestle in the blankets
Like two otters at play
(Baby, let’s be cliché)
#CHORUS
Baby, let’s feather our nest
(With cuddles and coos)
(’Cause that’s what we do best)
Your lips drip with more love
Than words have ever expressed
(Baby, let’s feather our nest)
#VERSE
So, let’s be cliché
Say silly things lovers say
“I love you more this morning
Than I did yesterday”
(“To the moon and back”)
(“Then twice around love’s race track”)
“Your love fulfills me like a meal
Plus a sweet late-night snack”
#CHORUS
(I say, baby, let’s make our love grow)
With kisses so hot
It will melt winter’s snow
(We’ll be warm in our cocoon)
(Until the Crystal River flows)
{Baby, let’s make our love grow}
#BRIDGE
All the greeting cards in Walmart
Try to say something unique
Far-fetched metaphors
That would make Shakespeare shriek
Choosing a card gets so confusing
With all their flowery stuff
I just want to say it simply
“It’s you I love, love, love, love, love”
#INSTRUMENTAL
(It’s you I love, love, love, love, love)
(It’s you I love, love, love, love, love)
It’s you I love, love, love, love, love
(Come kiss me now, my cuddle bug)
#CHORUS
{And, baby, let’s be cliché}
(Paint our lives with peach and teal)
(While others dabble in gray)
We’ll have real soul connections
While they eat, love, pray
(Yeah, baby, let’s be cliché)
#CHORUS
{And, baby, let’s be cliché}
Hold hands in bed
At the end of each day
(Then float to the stars)
(In our most special way)
Yeah, baby, let’s be cliché
#OUTRO
(Baby, let’s be cliché)
Baby, let’s be cliché
{Baby, let’s be cliché!}
