First of all, yes to the question: Check out the various Edit > Paste Special (<Ctrl><Shft>V) options, beginning with Paste 
Unformatted Text (<Alt><Ctrl><Shft>V), which will always give just a text string, without table or other formatting. 
(However, note that in doing so, the "unformatted text" will then adopt the formatting into which it is inserted.)

Also note that, depending on the source context, Paste Special will offer appropriate 
table-oriented paste options.
