"Complicated" lyrics

"Complicated"

Uh huh, life's like this
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 yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You would see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talkin' to me one-on-one
But you've become...

Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watchin' your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin' 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
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you are and where it's at, you see
You're makin' me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know, you're not foolin' anyone
When you become

Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watchin' your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin' 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
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no

No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no

Chill out, what you yellin' 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 watchin' your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin' 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
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? (yeah, yeah)
I see the way you're actin' 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
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no

"Complicated" is Avril's debut single from her debut album. The song was released on May 14, 2002.
The singer described the song as a reaction to the artificial nature of modern society: "People sometimes bother me how they're not real and how they're just, like, putting on a face and being two-faced."
The song performed well in the charts. It reached #1 in Australia, New Zealand and Mexico, #2 in USA and #3 in United Kingdom. "Complicated" was nominated for two Grammy Awards: "Song of the Year" and "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance".
The music video won "Best New Artist in a Video" nomination at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards. It was shot at Eagle Rock Plaza, Los Angeles, in 2 days. During the shooting, the mall remained open.
