Lyrics

We were dating for a couple years
When she told me to make my decision
She said we been going out long enough
Now I need a little more commitment

She said we are meant to be
I said babe, I need to think it over
She said, “Daddy loves me, he don’t have to think
He bought me my new Land Rover”

Carried away
And she’s way too beautiful
You wake up one day
And you’re Mrs. Mr. Cliché

See I’m a man of modest means
And I know what a dollar’s worth
Can’t we have a quiet ceremony
In a quaint little country church

When she heard that she shouted out
“Don’t you care about a girl’s taste?”
Expensive flowers, bridal showers
And a ten-tiered fancy cake

Carried away
And she’s way too beautiful
You wake up one day
And you’re Mrs. Mr. Cliché

I said, “What happened to that sweet girl
My baby that I used to know?”
I put that big rock on her little finger
Now she’s gone going out of control

Carried away
And she’s way too typical
We’ll wake up one day
And we’re missing the point

Carried away
And she’s way too beautiful
You’ll wake up one day
And you’re Mrs. Mr. Cliché
