Shadow Of A Doubt (a Complex Kid) Lyrics

There goes my baby
There goes my only one
I think she loves me
But she don't wanna let on

Yes, she likes to keep me guessing
She's got me on the fence
With that little bit of mystery
She's a complex kid

And she's always been so hard to figure out
Yeah, she always likes to leave me with a shadow of a doubt

Sometimes at night
I wait around 'til she gets off
She don't like workin'
She says she hates her boss

But she's got me askin' questions
She's got me on the fence
With that little certain something
She's a complex kid

And she's always been so hard to get around
She always likes to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
Just a shadow of a doubt
She says it keeps me runnin'
I'm trying to figure out
If she's leadin' up to something

And when she's dreamin'
Sometimes she sings in French
But in the morning
She don't remember it

But she's got me thinking 'bout it
Yeah, she's got me on the fence
With that little bit of mystery
She's a complex kid

And she's always been so hard to live without
Yeah, she always likes to leave me, with a shadow of a doubt

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
