Complicated
Dada (ante portas) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I know what it means to be forgotten in a swimming pool
I realize it's all the same if your alone or everybody's fool
I'm workin' hard makin' money for my cat waitin' in my flat
I can't forget the pretty face you had when I had to eat my hat
I love everything that's Complicated - and love is Complicated
I love everything that's Complicated - and your Complicated
(I love you)
I hate the day when it's already begun I haven't started yet
Say is it sadness is it pain am I tired or is it jet lag
I don't know what it's all about please tell me what you want
Maybe you expect a lot and I'm not James Bond
I love everything that's Complicated - and love is Complicated




I love everything that's Complicated - and your Complicated
(I love you)
