Cliches
Written by - Jimmy Buffett
From - Havaña Daydreamin'
She's got a ballpark figure 
He's got a ball point pen 
They travel around for weeks at a time 
Writin' down descriptions of the places they been 

She plays guitar but nothin' fancy 
With no intention of becomin' a star 
Only thing that's botherin' him these days 
Is where he's gonna find a good ten-cent cigar 

Cliches 
Good ways 
To say what you mean 
Mean what you say 

She never did make her debut 
He never made it to class 
She's eighty-sixed from the Chart Room 
He's twenty nine and pushin' thirty real fast 

They're funny when they get to rockin' 
Goin' out for a night on the town 
Takin' Polaroid pictures that are never in focus 
Just to look at when they finally slow down 

Full moon 
So soon 
Wishin' every month of the year could be June 

He's always tuned into Star Trek 
She's always tuned into him 
Hidin' his cookies when he gets the munchies 
Tryin' hard just to keep the boy slim 

Tonight they're gonna go star gazin' 
An' try to figure out which one they're near 
But try as they might I don't think they'll reach the height 
You know you can't get there from here 

Full moon 
So soon 
Wishin' every month of the year could be June 

Cliches 
Good ways 
To say what you mean 
Mean what you say 
To say what you mean 
Mean what you say
