Opposites Attract (1990 Mix) (from the "Shut Up and Dance (The Dance Mixes)" album)

Bass
Come together

I'm M.C. Kat on the rap so mic it
Here's a little story and you're sure to like it
Swift and sly and I'm playing it cool
With my homegirl Paula Abdul

Baby seems we never
Ever agree
You like the movies
And I like T.V.

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 2 steps forward
I take 2 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
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 2 steps forward
I take 2 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

2 steps forward
2 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

Nothing in common but this trust
I'm like a minus, she's like a plus
One going up, one coming down
But we seem to land on common ground

When things go wrong we make corrections
To keep things moving in the right direction
Try to fight it but I'm telling you Jack
It's useless: opposites attract

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

Well I take 2 steps forward
I take 2 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

2 steps forward
2 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

2 steps forward
We come together
It ain't fiction
We come together
'Cause opposites
'Cause opposites
