Complicated
Tanya Tucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heads he loves me, tails he loves me not
I keep his picture in my wallet
I guess I miss him a little more than I thought
[Chorus:]
It's complicated
It's underrated
It's heart-related
It's complicated
Am I flyin', am I sinkin'?
Do it feel good, or do it hurt?
I'd like to tell him what I'm thinkin'
Right now I just can't find them words
[Chorus]
We're walking hand in hand on Sunday
Havin' it out on Sunday night
We might be makin' up come Monday
Our love is never black and white
[Chorus]
You love to love 'em, and you hate to hate 'em
And hate to love 'em
It's complicated, yes, it's tough
It's complicated, whoa, yeah
He's wearing me out
This is difficult
You got another quarter?
