I was an ice storm refugee Romeo came and rescued me I'll keep you warm was what he said And the storm was gone when I left his bed But when the sun was high And the ground left dry So was I 'Cause love is the crulest cliche And I don't wanna be cliche But at the end of the night And the dawn of the day I wouldn't have it any other way 'Cause I've never really known it any other way We made love in his sanctuary Got out of bed at a quarter to three We dined on bread and raspberries As frozen rain clung to the trees But it's such a shame And was just the same In the frozen rain 'Cause love is the cruelest cliche And I don't wanna be cliche But at the end of the night And the dawn of the day I wouldn't want to have it any other way 'Cause I've never really known it any other way The poets never wrote it any other way The artists never showed it any other way 'Cause love is the cruelest cliche
