Opposites Attract Lyrics

Artist: 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 work out

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 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

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

the Family Guy version is better:

I take-2 steps forward
I take-2 steps back
We come together
Cuz I'm dressed like a Cat

If a girl that I like(but am unsure if she likes me the same way) asks me if i know this song for karaoke, was that a hint as to how she truely feels about me???

by latoya on 2/23/2009 11:12pm
perhaps,,, but i mean imma girland i asked a boy to sign this song with me for our asl concert but that doesnt mean i like hium.. so it could go both ways

by DJ Kat on 3/24/2009 5:51am
I am concerned that this song promotes Bestiality. How come she is attracted to a cartoon cat? Now, i have observed Paula's behaviour on American Idol and she is showing classic signs of drug abuse? I am now of the conclusion that she is performing sexual tricks on various animals such as cats and Donkeys to pay for her addiction

i love this song my mother showed me it cause it was here favorite now its mine and i feel the same way about the guy i am in love with as this song is talking about . peace to the middle east !!!

It's missing a lot of lyrics, including the rap skit.

by Kelly on 7/6/2009 11:24am
I think the is the best song of all time it really is

by STYPHOR on 8/15/2009 9:37am
Missing the cat's rapping parts at the begining and before the last verse.
I'm MC Cat and I like to mike it
Here's a sweet song, I'm sure you'll like it
Slip and sly, just playing it cool
with my home girl Paula Abdul

Nothin' in common, but this trust
I'm like a minus, She's like a plus
One going up, one going down
but we seem to land on common ground
When things go wrong we make corrections
To keep things moving in the right direction
Listen up! I'm telling you, jack!
It's useless. Opposites attract!

In a relationship just like the songs says.

by hippychick67 on 4/23/2010 5:27pm
I loved this song when it first came out, and now, years later, the lyrics are coming true for me, coz I am on the verge of getting together with my mate's brother. She can't see what we have in common, so I quoted this song to her! LOL! X:0)

by Sarrah on 7/20/2010 11:55am

This is a GREAT song. My wife of 37 years and I were doing something the other day. She wanted to do it one way and I wanted to it my way. That does not happen alot. But when it does, I think of this song. :)
