"Complicated" lyrics

"Complicated"
(originally by Avril Lavigne)

Life's like, life's like, life's like

Chill out. What ya yellin' for?
Lay back. It's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will 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 become

Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
Tryna be cool
But 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
You fall (You fall), you crawl, and you break (And you break)
And you take what you get (Take what you get) and you turn it into honesty
And promise 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 (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
Tryna be cool
But you look like a fool
To 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
You fall (You fall), you crawl, and you break (And you break)
And you take what you get (Take what you get) and you turn it into honesty
And promise me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
