Complicated

Robin Thicke · The Evolution Of Robin Thicke [2006]

i wish i could change, i wish i could change

i wish i could stop saying the same old things

i wish i could be who you want me to be

i iwsh i could stop being the same old me

i wish i could lose all of my blues

i wish i could stop putting my blues on you

i wish i could love like nobody loves

i wish that my goods outweighed my bads enough



there's no way, there's no way, there's no way

i can get back that girl, 'cause im too complicated

she's not complicated

but i'm too complicated

(repeat 2 times)



i wish i could change, i wish i could change

i wish i could stop placin' the blame, oh

i can't stop it, i can''t break down, i can't drop it, can't see how

i wish i could lose all of my blues

i wish i could stop puttin' my blues on you

i wish i could love

i wish that my goods outweighed my bads enough



there's no way, there's no way, there's no way

i can get back that girl, 'cause im too complicated

she's not complicated

but i'm too complicated

(repeat 2 times)



you know it's killing me. baby how can i let you go

suddenly theres nothing i need more

there's no way, there's no way, there's now way, there's now way

i can't stop it, i can''t break down, i can't drop it, can't see how



there's no way, there's no way, there's no way

i can get back that girl, 'cause im too complicated

she's not complicated

but i'm too complicated
