|
She might break with just a touch |
|
Burst into tears over nothing much |
|
A delicate girl, an unusual case |
|
A delicate girl with a china face |
|
All through the evening |
|
I tried to find the words to say goodbye |
|
Conflicting feelings tangling up my mind |
|
Her sad dark eyes looked into mine |
|
Her sad dark eyes looked deep into mine |
|
And there she sat in her perfect hat |
|
She had a way of dressing up like that |
|
A buttoned-down blouse with a trim of lace |
|
The delicate girl with the china face |
|
Come the next morning I tried yet again to say goodbye |
|
Through the days of April |
|
On into May and June and then July |
|
The time slipped by |
|
Through May and June and then July |
|
(Chorus 1) |
|
Well, it's Long and Complicated |
|
So Long and Complicated |
|
I'm trying to know where the story's gonna go |
|
But it's just not clear to see |
|
When she smiles, my resolve is long gone |
|
When I tried to tell her So Long |
|
I had no words to say |
|
Couldn't walk away |
|
My heart got the best of me |
|
Things I say take me by surprise |
|
I can't stand to see tears in her eyes |
|
She's buzzing around fixing up the place |
|
The delicate girl with the china face |
|
It seem I can hardly keep my eyes away when she's around |
|
But with her emotions always on her sleeve |
|
What kind of trouble have I found? |
|
What kinds of trouble have I found? |
|
(Chorus 2) |
|
Well it's Long and Complicated |
|
So Long and Complicated |
|
It could take many years drying all those tears |
|
Is that where I want to be? |
|
Sometimes I want to be her protector |
|
Then the next day I want to reject her |
|
She's alluring and fine |
|
She said she was mine |
|
My heart got the best of me |
|
Standing at the altar |
|
Watching the scene unfold before me now |
|
Conflicting feelings tangling up my mind |
|
Her sad dark eyes look into mine |
|
Her sad dark eyes look deep into mine |
