These four years were a suicide

But you volunteered and kept it alive

So you can't complain, no you can't complain

No you can't complain, no you can't complain

You can't fix what was born to break

So the marriage lives for the children's sake

And you can't complain, no you can't complain

No you can't complain, no you can't complain



This is what you signed up for (take me off that list)

This is what you signed up for 

And when tomorrow comes you're gonna write a song

You're gonna send it out to me

Cause I'm so vain (no you can't complain)

No you can't complain when you can't come back to me



These four years were a suicide

And you're worse off now cause you did survive

But you can't complain, no you can't complain

No you can't complain, no you can't complain

Life turns out just a stepping stone

You forget yourself 

You should have known (that you can't complain)

You should've known better (no you can't complain)

And now you can't complain when you can't come back to me 



This is what you signed up for (take me off that list)

This is what you signed up for 



But when tomorrow comes you're gonna write a song

You're gonna send it out to me

Cause I'm so vain (no, you can't complain)

No you can't complain when you can't come back 

And when tomorrow comes you're gonna write a song

You're gonna send it out to me

Cause I'm so vain (no, you can't complain)

No you can't complain when you can't come back to me



You can't come back to me

This will end (this will end)

If you choose 

To do nothing, nothing 

This will end (this will end) 

If you choose 

To do nothing, nothing 

This will end (this will end)

If you choose 

To do nothing, nothing, nothing But I can't live like this (I can't live like this)

No I won't be here



And when tomorrow comes you're gonna write a song

You're gonna send it out to me

Cause I'm so vain (no, you can't complain)

And when tomorrow comes you're gonna write a song

You're gonna send it out to me

Cause I'm so vain (no, you can't complain)

And when tomorrow comes you're gonna write a song

You're gonna send it out to me

but you can't complain to me
