Guess my Mama knew exactly what she meant the day she said
|
"Be careful what you wish for it will come to you."
|
Little did I know the day I met you, you would demonstrate
|
How everything in Mama's words would ring so true
|
Independent people with a different take on living
|
Now how did we become more than just good friends?
|
|
[Chorus (Both)]
|
Baby we make such a beautiful contradiction
|
Together we are in no two ways the same.
|
Baby we make such a beautiful contradiction
|
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame.

|
You and I should be like oil and water
|
but somehow we mix together and we make a very special blend
|
Every day we clash on politics, religion,
|
but we learned the art of how to kiss and make up in the end yeah.
|
Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
|
Alien invasion of my heart and soul
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Beverley Knight]
|
I realise it, you learn, you gotta cry, you gotta respect and
|
Feel somebody you gotta fall, you gotta rise
|
To really understand the things that make this little world go round.
|
That's what really makes us, that's how we learn.
|
|
Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
|
Alien invasion of my heart and soul.
|
|
[Chorus]
