Garland Jeffreys love is not a cliche

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
