Complicated Girl

I love this song, and for some reason every time I hear it, it reminds me of an ex-girlfriend who loves The Bangles' music as much (or more) than I do. It was her who told me that the group had released a new album (Doll Revolution), which I promptly went and snapped up. I think part of the reason we never got any further than we did is because we are/were both too stubborn to give any ground to the other. The saying goes that "Hindsight is 20/20" and it is certainly true in this case. The lyrics bear little if any relation to my relationship with her, but it is still this song that reminds me of her. Weird huh?

Complicated Girl by The Bangles

Valerie is beautiful
But she seems a little bit confused
The life you offer her she says
She cannot use

You live in another world
She thinks she won't fit in at all
And oh, what about her plans for him
She bends to his will

Hey, you better listen
'Cause I'm warning you
Love is never simple
With a complicated girl

You call her on the phone
She's got the other guy on hold
You see the scene unfold
You know it very well

Stay inside your room all day
When she doesn't call you pull the shades
Never seen you act this way
The girl has hit you hard

Hey, you better listen
'Cause I'm warning you
Love is never simple
With a complicated girl

Why bother making rules you know
She will not follow
Someday she'll find a way to remedy
This lovely mess she's made of you

Hey, you better listen
'Cause I'm warning you
Love is never simple
With a complicated girl
