Dr. Hook – You've Heard It All Before lyrics

(Unknown)

You've heard 'em all before, the words I wish I could say
Fooling myself I guess to think that it would matter anyway
If I even tried to write them down, hoping that I could tell you more
But the trouble is you've heard 'em all before

And they're all right here on my radio
The words that I want, and I just didn't know
How to say them so they'd sound new, or I'd have said 'em to you
And they're all around in the songs that I hear
And they say it so easy and they say it so clear
And I'd have told you these words and more
But you've heard 'em all before

You've heard them all before in words more convincing than mine
I'm fooling myself again to repeat them one more time
Oh but you know how I feel, if you leave me you know what it would do
Maybe you'd wanna stay, if I'd have said 'em to you

And they're all right here on my radio
The words that I want, and I just didn't know
How to say them so they'd sound new, or I'd have said 'em to you
And they're all around in the songs that I hear
And they say it so easy and they say it so clear
And I'd have told you these words and more
But you've heard 'em all before

And they're all right here on my radio
The words that I want, and I just didn't know
How to say them so they'd sound new, or I'd have said 'em to you
And they're all around in the songs that I hear
And they say it so easy and they say it so clear
And I'd have told you these words and more
But you've heard 'em all before

And they're all right here on my radio
The words that I want, and I just didn't know
How to say them so they'd sound new, or I'd have said 'em to you
And they're all around in the songs that I hear
And they say it so easy and they say it so clear...
