Lyrics

Uncomplicated (alternate version)

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 rosé 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

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)

You think it's over now

But this is only

This is only

This is only

The beginning

(Chorus)

You think it's over now

But this is only

This is only

This is only

The beginning

(Chorus)
