Lyrics Complicated

one time... one time (alright here we go) two times
one time for your mind you body and your soul
every time that I rhyme you know I'm in control
alright here we go here we go here we go

And we've been here for so many years,
But still it seems as if you're not there (are you there)
Well, every time I talk, you turn away (do you care),
Isn't Dad an obligation to care
And we said...

[Chorus:]
And we've been here for so many years,
So many years still it seems... so why
you're so complicated, (yeah)
you're overated, (well alright)
you're complicated,
Well this feeling is love.

Well I came in the door, yeah I said it before,
I never let the stress get me down no more
Giving thanks to the Lord, you know I pray every day,
Giving shouts to my peeps and this is what we said,
And we said...

[Chorus]

You got your one little room with a black and white TV,
You got you one single bed and you don't wanna see,
You're living all alone you're like a dog without a bone,
You're living all alone 'cause you left us all at home,
Well you had a second chance but you threw it all away,
A fourth and fifth and sixth now that was yesterday,
Now you're sitting at a bar just drowning in your tears,
Lonely in the corner while everybody cheers,
And we said...

[Chorus]

But six dollars in your pocket one's your secret stash,
Three's for alcohol and two's for cigarettes, alright...

[Note: This is the acoustic version of the song.
The CD version has the first two lines of the bridge as
"You left us one little room with a black and white TV,
One eviction notice and a bill for therapy"]
