I don't know, unlike others, I think some of the lyrics from TD ARE cheesy, and TAALS definitely is among those. Granted, the lyrics are better written than BOF's, but even though they're less embarassing, they're still cheesy. What especially makes them seem cheesy is the vocal style of the song. Even for a ballad, it seems kinda... I don't know. Over-emphasized probably.
If I Was Your Mother also has cheesy lyrics, so does In These Arms, so does I'll Be There For You, but they don't come over that cheesy, thanks to the melody.

And while I'm at butchering everyone's favourites...

Actually, Hearts Breaking Even is a mediocre rewrite of Aerosmith's Cryin' (which is an awesome song - shame). Notice Desmond Child also co-wrote this one - was not really his finest hour I guess.
