lyrics

The Girl Who's Heard It All Before

What do you say to the girl who's' heard it all before?
What do you say so she might let you through her door?
Should you try quoting
Some classic great lines?
No sugar coating
If she isn't too impressed you will see the signs

What do you say to the girl who's heard it all before?
What can you say so she won't find you a total bore?
Each form of praising
Is now a cliche
She's been called amazing
Way too many times before, lots have had their say

I want to make a lasting impression
Don't want to make it some big confession
I rack my brain but I cannot think of what
It's best to keep my big mouth shut

What do you say to the girl who's heard it all before?
She will just yawn when you try to quote from "either/or"
Should you be truthful
And speak from your heart
But that's rarely fruitful
It will likely spell "the end" before the "S" in "start"

I want to make a lasting impression
But writing prose is not my profession
I rack my brain but I cannot think of what
It's best to keep my big mouth shut

What do you say to the girl?
Maybe don't call her a girl?
