You've Heard It All Before Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(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...
