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
