Uh, alright, here we go (get down)
One time for your mind, your 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 overrated (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 say,
And we said...

[Chorus]

You left us one little room with a black and white TV,
One eviction notice and a bill for therapy
You're living all alone, you're like a dog without a bone, I said
You're living all alone because 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 you're just drowning in your tears,
You're lonely in the corner while everybody cheers,
And we said...

And we've been here for so many years (so many)
So many years still it seems (too long, too long, too)
And we've been here for so many years
So many years still it seams (yeah, yeah, yeah)... so why
You're so complicated (yeah)
You're overrated (well alright)
You're complicated,
Well this feeling is love.
