Complicated Melody

India.Arie · Voyage To India [2002]

If he were a color

He'd be a deep dark

forest green

If he were a car

He'd be a long stretch limousine

With room for all

of humanity inside

Cause he is so giving

and he is so wise

If he were a number

He'd be a five cause he has

such a brilliant mind

If he were an animal

he'd be an ass

Cause he's so stubborn sometimes



But if he were a song

He'd be a complicated melody

That complicated fellow he

I almost cannot sing it on key



But he means the world to me



If he were a building

He'd be a beautiful cathedral

Cause he is so

traditionally spiritual

If he were a dance

He'd be complicated like the tango

Exotic like a mango



But if he were a song

He'd be a complicated melody

That complicated fellow he

I almost cannot sing it on key



But he means the world to me



Bridge: He ain't the reason

for the sun and the moon

He's just the reason

for this here tune



Cause he means the world to me

Said he means the world to me

Me me me yeah

he means the world to me yeah



Complicated melody

That complicated fellow he

He's complicated melody

I almost cannot sing it on key
