This song was composed for the 2016 musical film Sing Street. In the film, the song is inspired when Conor Lawlor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) describes his romantic situation to a schoolteacher (Lydia McGuinness). She says, “All the complicated boys and girls!”
Sometimes I pull myself apart
I shift my shape the way I change my colours
Guess I'm a human work of art
A never-ending video-o-o
Truth gets distorted by the facts
Peace is in danger and the trust gets broken
Love always comes under attack
But at the end of all of this
Oh, oh, oh
All the complicated boys
Boys know that the girls are so complicated
Try to open up your mind
Let go, can you feel your heart liberated
By the complicated boys, boys, boys, boys?
And the complicated girls, girls, girls, girls
We're all just diamonds in the rough
I'm still a stranger in the bathroom mirror
Stare at me long and hard enough
You might see someone that you love
Oh, oh, oh
All the complicated boys
Boys know that the girls are so complicated
Try to open up your mind
Let go, can you feel your heart liberated
By the complicated boys, boys, boys, boys?
And the complicated girls, girls, girls, girls
By the complicated boys, boys, boys, boys
And the complicated girls, girls, girls, girls
Oh, it's complicated
