Complicated

It started out simple

Then it wasn't

It was climbing trees and gettin' dirty knees

Mama calling our names right on supper time

Skadoosh

Yeah, somewhere, somehow life all changed

We're strapped in the backseat driving in the fast lane

It's a workin' grind while we're drinking our wine

We're holding our breath and wishing on a good time

Why's it gotta be this? Why's it gotta be like that?

Jumpin' jack flash take us back

So why's it gotta be so complicated

When people always say life's what you make it?

So why's it gotta be so complicated?

They're selling us dreams but most of us fake it, yeah

So why's it gotta be so complicated?

I'm yearning for a simple life

Ooh, away from all the noise and strife

I wanna slow down the melody and just breathe

Why's it gotta be like this? Why's it gotta be like that?

Strawberry fields take us back

Like the walrus said, all you need is love

So why's it gotta be so complicated

When people always say life's what you make it?

So why's it gotta be so complicated?

They're selling us dreams, but most of us fake it, yeah

So why's it gotta be so complicated?

And why's it gotta be this?

Hmm, why's it gotta be like that?

Why's it gotta be like this? Why's it gotta be like that?

Strawberry fields take us back

Like the walrus said, all you need is love

So why's it gotta be so complicated

When people always say life's what you make it?

(Make it, make it, yeah)

So why's it gotta be so complicated?

(Why's it gotta be so so complicated?)

They're selling us dreams, but most of us fake it, yeah

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) so why's it gotta be so complicated?

Why's it gotta be? Yeah, yeah

People always say life's what you make it (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

So why's it gotta be so complicated?

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-yeah

They're selling us dreams but most of us fake it (yeah, yeah, yeah)

So why's it gotta be so complicated?
