Opposites Attract

(album: Forever Your Girl - 1988)

Baby seems we never
Ever agree
You like the movies
And I like TV

I take things serious
And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And I party all night

Our friends are saying
We ain't gonna last
'Cause I move slowly
And baby I'm fast

I like it quiet
And I love to shout
But when we get together
It just all works out

I take two steps forward
I take two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites attract
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites attract

Who would've thought
We could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers

She likes it neat
And he makes a mess
I take it easy
Baby I get obsessed

She's got the money
And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes
And I like to smoke

Things in common?
There just ain't a one
But when we get together
We have nothing but fun

I take two steps forward
I take two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites attract
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites attract

Two steps forward
Two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites attract
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites attract

You know it, baby, baby
We come together
We come together

Baby, ain't it something how we lasted this long?
You and me proving everyone wrong
I don't think we'll ever get our differences patched
It don't really matter 'cause we perfectly matched

And I take two steps forward
I take two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites attract
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites attract

Two steps forward
Two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites attract
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites attract

Two steps forward
Two steps back
Two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites, opposites attract
It ain't fiction
You know it's a fact
We come together
'Cause opposites
'Cause opposites

Two steps forward
Two steps back
Two steps back
Opposites attract
We come together
We go together
'Cause opposites attract

Two steps forward
Two steps back
Two steps back
Opposites attract
We come together
We go together
Opposites
I said, opposites attract
