Song Lyrics

Baby seems we never ever agree
You like the movies
And I like T.V.
I take thing serious
And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And I party all night
Our friends are sayin'
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

[Chorus:]
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'd a 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 nothin' but fun

[Chorus]

Repeat chorus
Baby ain't it somethin'
How we lasted this long
You and me
Provin' everyone wrong
Don't think we'll ever
Get our differences patched
Don't really matter
'cause we're perfectly matched

[Chorus: x2]

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 home girl, Paula Abdul

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
