Last month I found a little black notebook

With the power to kill

Last month I wrote a name down in it

And found out it was the real deal

Last week I met a guy at my campus

And he said that he was L

And I don't even know his real name

This really is one complex game

We started out acting like we were best friends

But we're both really plotting the other's end

But I don't even know his real name

We started working together

On the Kira case

Trying to get my stupid girlfriend

A chance to see his face

I had no clue what I was getting into

But I still have what it takes

But there's no room to make mistakes

When I don't even know his real name

This really is one complex game

We started out acting like we were best friends

But we're both really plotting the other's end

But I don't even know his real name

Here we go!

Today I woke up thinking 'bout justice

What it really is

I'm not sure if I can kill here

Or how these cameras in my room just appeared

I gotta know when to take it slow

I'll take a chip and I'll eat it

He'll never know

They say what happens here stays here

Hopefully, my name is cleared

There's just one little problem

When I don't even know L's real name

This really is one complex game

We started out acting like we were best friends

But we're both really plotting the other's end

But I don't even know L's real name!
