Why does it have to be so complicated?
Can't you see that I'm your dream come true?
But every time I try to work it out
Well, it's nothing new I get from you
And life goes on

Ten little lies lined up in a row
Wrapped up tight and tied in a bow
What am I supposed to get?
I haven't seen her yet

Excuse me, have we met?
Sometimes I forget
That love is righteous
Just too cool baby
So come on and listen in

Why does it have to be so complicated?
Can't you see that I'm your dream come true?
But every time I try to work it out
Well, it's nothing new I get from you
And life goes on

Breeze hints faintly of Jasmine and Jade
Two more reason why I haven't got laid
What am I supposed to do?
I haven't got a clue

Someone's screaming
It's a hell of a view
So roll me over
And turn my money maker sunnyside
Come on and do it again

Why does it have to be so complicated?
Can't you see that I'm your dream come true?
But every time I try to work it out
Well, it's nothing new I get from you
And life goes on

(Life goes on)
Round and around and around and around, yeah
(Life goes on)
Round and around and around and around, yeah
Life goes on and on

So if you take a trip to understanding
And cast to sea from there to parts unknown
How will we ever see the grand finale?
Of the picture show, we've come to know
That life goes on

Why does it have to be so complicated?
Can't you see that I'm your dream come true?
But every time I try to work it out
It's nothing new I get from you
And life goes on

(Life goes on)
Round and around and around and around, yeah
(Life goes on)
Round and around and around and around, yeah
Life goes on and on
