Love Is Not a Cliche - Garland Jeffreys

like my folk

I like my jazz

I like my R & B

I love my rock and roll

With a dash of soul and funky

I like a message in my sound

To tell everybody what’s going down

Don’t ever want to leave this town

Love is not a cliché

Love is not a cliché

Hey hey hey

The land of opportunity

Goes swiftly down the drain

Go to work on Monday

I hope I make the train

I can hardly see

What I stand to gain

But I’m true

Now let me explain

Love is not a cliché

Love is not a cliché

Hey hey hey hey

It’s the same all ‘round the world

It’s the same for you and me

Goes around and comes around

It takes every part of me

You can feel it on your mind

You can feel it in your heart

Any place or any time

Love is not a cliché

Love is not a cliché

Hey hey hey

Love your sister like a friend

Take her to your heart

Never know when it’s the end

Treat her like a work of art

Love is not a cliché

Love is not a cliché

Hey hey hey
