[Chorus: Jill Scott]

I've been wondering about

The complexity of what we have here

Should there be more?

Just can't see more

I've been wondering about

The complexity

Of what we have and

Should there be more?

Just can't see more


[Verse 1: Black Thought]

You're physically in this, but how could we tell

If we was meant to be in bliss if you're not mentally as well?

This energy you're sending me is tricky as hell

Usually it's like a 50/50, we could take a L, before we start things

At this point, being apart brings

The feeling of somebody plucking at your heart strings

I know it probably shouldn't feel like this

But any other woman I see is in your likeness

It's from your cheekbones

To your lips, to your curves, to your deep moans

To that walk, to your words

Your love feeling like a breakdown on the verge

First we on good terms, then you on my last nerves

Got my back just aching, my shoes is all tight

It's too complex, when we choose to do it right, it's wrong

One minute, you a soldier, strong

Then you trying a route talking about it's over and gone


[Chorus: Jill Scott]

I've been wondering about

The complexity of what we have here

Should there be more?

Just can't see more

I've been wondering about

The complexity

Of what we have and

Should there be more?

Just can't see more


[Verse 2: Black Thought]

When your boyfriend's in town, it's bound to be trouble, love

His name Black, and he known to be a lover of

Getting it on with my smoker's jacket on

Eyes racing back and forth, listening to Chaka Khan

Trying to figure the cause, why you always acting off, like I'm slacking off

Maybe our signals getting crossed?

What the case, love? You feel like you making a waste of

Your precious time you need to get a taste of

Some space to breathe, a moment as friends?

We should've felt ourselves slipping into it again

'Cause it's like off and on, on and off

Passion, lost and found, found and lost

Clashing, asking for nothing but understanding

Your hearts made of glass, use care when handling

Girl, all in all, I'd never leave you stranded

'Cause my respect, you commanded – you figure it out


[Chorus: Jill Scott, (Black Thought)]

I've been wondering about

The complexity of what we have here

Should there be more? (It's like that)

Just can't see more

I've been wondering about (Come on)

The complexity

Of what we have and

Should there be more? (It's like that)

Just can't see more


[Verse 3: Black Thought]

I used to come into the party and stand around

'Cause I was kinda too shy to really get down

I used to play the corner and watch the scene

Deep down, knowing I wanted to find me a queen

And I could feel that in my stomach, and up in my chest

Because I knew a lot of women, and some was fresh

But then I found you, girl, and just like me

You had a heart that was yearning to be set free

Now listen, see you and me, we need to take the time

To erase any doubt that's inside your mind

It's not a mountain that I'm ever too tired to climb

And who's counting, but I know at least a thousand times

I let you know I'm here for you, care for you, and confide in you

Break bread, share with you, and provide for you

And that's full time, it's no 9 to 5 with you

That's why I'm trying to work it out with you – let's figure it out


[Chorus: Jill Scott, (Black Thought)]

I've been wondering about

The complexity of what we have here (It's like that)

Should there be more?

Just can't see more

I've been wondering about

The complexity

Of what we have and

Should there be more? (It's like that)

Just can't see more (Come on...)


[Bridge: Jill Scott]

*vocalizing "da da da"s*


[Chorus: Jill Scott]

I've been wondering about

The complexity of what we have here

Should there be more?

Just can't see more

I've been wondering about

The complexity

Of what we have and

Should there be more?

Just can't see more

Da da da da, da da da da...
