C to the O to the M to the P to the L to the I to the C
to the A to the T to the E D
It’s complicated
It’s complicated

Boy, I been hanging with ya girl
She be crying, tryna get over your lying
Yet she still loves ya, she showed me that rock on her finger
I’m a give you three minutes of my time
I’m a give you some of my gold, so ya shine
This is my girl I be backing, I’m not attacking
Just wanna make life less complicated

Chorus
C to the O to the M to the P to the L to the I to the C
to the A to the T to the E D
It’s complicated

It’s the crazy secret silent texting
Private meetings
Little moments
Did you really think they were in the real world

Chorus
C to the O to the M to the P to the L to the I to the C
to the A to the T to the E D
It’s complicated

Sugar coated temptings look so fine
At the start they taste like sweet red wine
In a week there’s a bad taste in your mouth
Should have looked the other way and headed South

Don’t you remember when you used to chase her
Now you don’t even do the slightest favour
Once upon a time you used to really like her
Today all you do is find a reason to fight her

Chorus
C to the O to the M to the P to the L to the I to the C
to the A to the T to the E D
It’s complicated

Now it’s time to educate ya
You do it on the street’s, they’ll start to hate ya
If you think it’s so good, put it to the test
Let me reassure ya

Chorus
C to the O to the M to the P to the L to the I to the C
to the A to the T to the E D
It’s complicated

Bridge
You got it tough
Sisters tryna shut it off
If you cannot cope
All ya needs a little faith and hope

You been treated rough
You know you had enough
You gotta hang in there
Working for the kinda love that’s rare
