Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated” is combined with the National Aerobics Championship theme for a song that (like many of Neil’s mashups) takes an unconventional pairing and turns it into something else entirely.
[Verse 1]
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
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talking to me one on one
But you've become
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
[Chorus]
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated
And life's like this you
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
[Verse 2]
You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you aren't where it's at you see, you're making me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know, you're not fooling anyone
When you've become
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated
And life's like this you
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, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no
(Cated-cated-compli-complicated)
(Cated-compli-complicated) [Loop]
[Bridge]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
[Chorus]
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated
And life's like this you
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 do you have to go and make things so complicated? (Yeah, yeah)
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated
And life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you fall and you crawl and you break and (tell me) you take what you get
And you fall and you crawl and (tell me) you break and you take what you get
And you fall and (tell me) you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And (tell me) you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what (tell me) you get
And you fall and you crawl and you break and (tell me) you take what you get
And you fall and you crawl and (tell me) you break and you take what you get
And you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
