What are some ridiculously cheesy lines I can say to a girl?
I’m not looking for cheesy pick-up lines, but rather overly melodramatic or sentimental phrases to say to someone I’m already seeing. For instance, once when we were saying goodbye, I looked her deep into her eyes and sighed, “I never want to let you go. Don’t ever let me.”
The more ridiculous the better. Others I’ve used, also saying farewell, “I miss you already. But don’t think of this as ‘Goodbye,’ think of it as ‘I’ll see you later.’” *Cue soft lens* When we were both tired of walking one night, I offered, “I’ll carry you. I’d carry you through the Bering Straight. I’d settle a whole continent with you.”
What are some more I can whisper to her when she’s locked in my embrace and make us both crack up?

It's not a cheesy line, but I like to lovingly hug my girlfriend and not let her go. I pretend to be lost in a moment and I might even tear up a bit. She cracks up every time.

Back in the 60's, the father of one of my friends approached his future wife with the line, "Hey chickee baby, wanna get lucky with a real suave (mispronounced "swave") guy?" It's a family legend now, and never fails to get laughs.

Watch Casablanca.
I also have a good one for her from Young Frankenstein: "You've got it, mister!"
Both my girlfriend and I remember there being a good one in Love Stinks, but not exactly what it was. It was such a horrible movie that we haven't worked up the nerve to watch it again.

I had this dream, I was sitting by the river and I looked into the water and the autumn leaves and street lights reflected off its surface, christ it was beautiful, impossibly so, and it looked, and only for a moment since the water was moving, exactly like you. And in the dream I wanted to drink the water. I felt like I needed to, so I walked to the edge of the river, dancing across the worn black of the stones and I cupped my hands and took a drink. I thought, after that drink that I would never be thirsty again. But it was just a dream.

If you say one of these and she whispers back "Can you pound a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?", you've got a keeper there.
There's a wealth in cheesy songs, the lyrics to which you can state in a monotone.
"I'm never gonna let you go. I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever."
This is especially good if you both happen to know that the song in question isn't a happy love song, but rather a creepy stalker song (viz, "Baby, Now That I've Found You" by Alison Krauss etc).

Best answer: I know we've only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it.

Kinda sorts in that vein:
Your are the lounge chair in my den of love.
For you and only you, I gave up my promising career as an international love assasin.
Our love is as deep as my 2inch high heart.
If I was ever injured and totally paralyzed, I'd want you to change my diaper.
Our love is like the ocean, salty and if you spend too much time in it, you get all wrinkly.
I love you so much, I'll sleep in the wet spot once a week.
You and your cooking skills complete me.
You taste like rain. Obviously has to have read the thread.
I want to be the goalie in the game of hockey between your breasts.
When my heart is feeling down, I take it to you for a tuneup and lube
If I ever lost your love, I use every search engine I could to find it.
If I ever had to choose between death and our love, I'd choose our love, because I'm hate tight spaces and I get scared underground
I'm so lucky to here right now, sniffing your body odor.
Our love, like bread, will never die, it'll just moldy and something good will come from that.

The good news is that I have exactly what you're looking for:
I always thought I would follow you up to the gates of Hell if I had to. And that, once arriving there, I would beg the gatekeeper to take me instead of you. And if he must take you, I would ask to come with you. And if he would not let me come with you, I would wait for you on the shores of the river.
