You know, some of these early lyrics are really pathetic. But I take corny love lyrics over Uriah Heep-like pretentiousness any day. You know, they may be clichéd lyrics, but they are about reality. And weren't the main point anyway. If clichéd lyrics are accompanied by good music, that's not a problem usually.

Of course, banal love lyrics can and should turn one away from the song, but I don't think cliched means banal...
