Opposite Attraction
[IMELDA]
Come on, boys
I say
Everyone needs love
And to love in return
But you say
You've got to change the world
Well that's alright
Cause I say
No one lives by bread
By bread alone
But you say
People got to have a home
That's what you say
But I say
Opposite attraction
Like magnetism or the pieces of a puzzle
It's a natural reaction now baby it's sick
And I think that I'm in trouble
Now we're different as we can be
And the fit is pretty good it seems
We're so tight it make you wanna scream
But that's why opposites attract for real
Yeah opposites attract for real
[NINOY]
Now
You know me
I gotta' speak my mind
No matter what the cost
And you say
[IMELDA]
Boy, don't you leave me behind
[NINOY]
That's what you say
You say
[IMELDA]
I say that love is all, it's all we need
[NINOY]
But I say
Ooh girl, we're living in a world
A world so real
Now opposite attraction
Though we keep trying
There's an awful lot of distance
And emotional reaction
Now I'm taking my shot
And I need to make a difference
Now we're different as we can be
And politics puts you to sleep
I understand the pain you feel
Now it's sad the way this has to end
So baby can we still be friends
And I know someday you will understand
