Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
'Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is
Chill out, what you yelling for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if, you could only let it be, you will see
When we're, driving in your car
And you're, talking to me one on one but you become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take, what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
You come, over unannounced
Dressed up, like you're something else
Where you aren't where it's at you see
You're making me
Laugh out, when you strike your pose
Take off, all your preppy clothes
You know, you're not fooling anyone
When you become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take, what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
Chill out, what you yelling for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if, you could only let it be
You will see
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take, what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?

Avril Lavigne’s hit song “Complicated” is a reflection on the complexities of life and relationships. The opening verse sets the tone for the song, with Avril acknowledging that life can be complicated and that we just have to accept it. She then addresses her lover to “chill out” and stop trying to act cool around others, and instead be themselves when they are together. She expresses her frustration with their behavior, which makes her feel like they are someone else around others. Avril’s desire for honesty and authenticity is evident in the lyrics, as she promises that she will never find them faking it.
The chorus of the song is catchy, with Avril questioning why her lover has to make things so complicated by acting like someone else. She gets frustrated with their behavior and the way they act around others. Avril draws on this theme throughout the song, commenting on how her lover is constantly trying to be cool and look good in front of others, which makes them look like a fool to her. She urges them to be themselves and not worry about what others might think.
The bridge of the song sees Avril asking her lover why they continue to act like someone else, even though they don’t need to. She implores them to be honest and promises that they will never find her faking it. The final verse of the song sees Avril once again urging her lover to be themselves, to be honest, and to turn the good and bad things in their life into something positive.
