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 sayin'
|
We ain't gonna last
|
Cuz 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
|
Cuz opposites attract
|
And you know--it ain't fiction
|
Just a natural fact
|
We come together
|
Cuz 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
|
Just ain't a one
|
But when we get together
|
We have nothin' but fun
|
|
I take--2 steps forward
|
I take--2 steps back
|
We come together
|
Cuz opposites attract
|
And you know--it ain't fiction
|
Just a natural fact
|
We come together
|
Cuz opposites attract
|
|
[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
|
Cuz we're perfectly matched
|
|
[Repeat Chorus Twice]
|
|
[Sung in the "ShutUp & Dance" version and in the "Opposites Attract" Music Video]
|
|
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
|
Its true- this- Opposites Attract
