Lyrics

Uncomplicated

[Verse 1]

Blood and chocolate

I hope you're satisfied what you have done

You think it's over now

But we've only just begun

I asked for water

And they gave me rose' wine

A horse that knows arithmetic

And a dog that tells your fortune

[Chorus]

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

Uncomplicated

[Verse 2]

I want to buy you

A big blue Diamel

Cheap white plastic shoes

That don't walk out and don't let in

I want to show you

How I love you

When you're over me

There's no-one above you

[Chorus]

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

Uncomplicated

Uncomplicated

[Bridge]

You think it's over now

But this is only

This is only

This is only the beginning

[Chorus]

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

Uncomplicated

Uncomplicated

Uncomplicated

[Bridge]

You think it's over now

But this is only

This is only

This is only the beginning

[Chorus]

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes
