Verse 1. Under a magnolia tree, there in northern Tennessee,
With my rusty old truck in the lane,
That kiss it started a fire, that melted me into you,
Lost in the love, we were so swept away.
Verse 2. Weddin’ bells filled the air, magic flowed everywhere,
As we promised our love for all time,
Now somebody else is there, and you want me to share,
So our fairy tale’s become a different rhyme.
Chorus. It’s complicated, she’s in the bedroom with her red dress off,
Down on somebody givin’ all she’s got,
She’s got a lot.
It’s complicated, we been together nearly fifteen years,
Embracin’ life and facin’ all our fears,
And now we’re here.
Bridge. Can I do it, can I forgive and get through it,
Will my love stretch to it, well I just don’t know.
Another woman, that’s who she’s doin’,
And she wants me too and, my brain’s about to blow.
Verse 3. I would die for my girl, she’s my whole goddam world,
Meant what I said when I gave her the ring,
And though it feels weird and I’m a mess, from my heart I gotta confess,
I’ll bring her girl into our love — anything.
Chorus. It’s complicated, she’s in the bedroom with her red dress off,
Down on somebody givin’ all she’s got,
She’s got a lot.
It’s complicated, we been together nearly fifteen years,
Embracin’ life and facin’ all our fears,
And now we’re here,
It’s complicated.
