Opposites Detract

HOOK:
You and I
We’re not too alike
If opposites attract then by now I would have you wrapped up so tight
You and me
We’re not meant to be
It was like the moon and the stars
Didn’t fit into place on their own
On their own
It all goes
That’s something we all know
We all try to follow
But that’ll leave you hollow
Yeah (3x)
Not everything that’s shiny is gold
But that glossy lipstick sure tasted like it could hold
My thoughts till the morning, but a cup of tea’s enough
To let me know you’re not my cup of tea and I ain’t trying bluff
I mean I prolly make you blush
Just what I expected
When I run my fingers by your necklace
Undressing I’m building… all that tension
Pardon me for reminiscing but baby I got to mention that
HOOK:
You and I
We’re not too alike
If opposites attract then by now I would have you wrapped up so tight
You and me
We’re not meant to be
It was like the moon and the stars
Didn’t fit into place on their own
On their own
It all goes
That’s something we all know
We all try to follow
But that’ll leave you hollow
Yeah (3x)
BRIDGE:
I can’t love you (3x)
But I still like you
But I’m not like you
And see if I can’t love you (3x)
How can I wife you
I cannot wife you
And it would be so selfish
To keep it going
While I was knowing
Our relations were only growing
I got you hoping
That we were
That we were forever
But if the picture
Is never painted
How would you take it?
A book without many pages
Girl I can’t shake it
No no
I was only thinking about you
Stop and think about it
Now how could I lead you on
Knowing every day was a blessing
But everything bout it’s wrong
And by the time I gave you up
Was too late you were so in love
And your face when I broke it off
Bitter taste and a broken heart
For not calling it off before
Was I late?
was I such a dog?
For inviting you to my place
Getting naked and going off
I think about it often
Like
What could it have been like
What if we were friends like
What if I could spend
A little time to change your motives turn you something that would fit
Make you hot tea in the morning
Leave for work and blow a kiss
As I watch you getting started making breakfast for the kids
But if opposites attract then we might find our happiness
OUTRO:
But we don’t attract
And I don’t think we are too alike
I guess
Too alike, I guess
Too alike, I guess
Don’t attract
And I don’t think we are too alike
I guess
Too alike, I guess
Too alike, I guess
